Here are some images I had in mind: basically all of these: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=allee+toskana&iax=images&ia=images (note the German syntax ;-) ) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=allee+brandenburg&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images I would have added more specific definitions like rhythm of trees, type of trees (usually the same or alternating), scenic intention, but as this is an existing tag it would have been useful to get feedback from those who have used the tag in the past, in order not to overload it with expectations which are not met by the actual usage. AFAIR, tree_lined was a compromise because allée is a French term and people couldn’t agree on the meaning of “avenue”. A part from real roads, these can also be found on private driveways, at least in Italy they are quite common in some regions. Cheers Martin
