U2 : IMAGES cornwall park one tree hill
A few minutes down the road from my home, is one of the worlds best inner city parks, Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill. One year ago, shortly after New Zealands worst mining tragedy, U2 performed and dedicated their song,One Tree Hill to the 29 miners who died. The song itself having been written for another New [...]

In the first photograph, [...]
