The first photo is likely a fake:

No leaves or tree debris on the path, while there is some in the
square area around the trunk.  The leaning trees should have cracked
the concrete.  Leaning trees are usually removed before they cause
problems.  The shadows on the trunks of the first two trees do not
match.  The shadow of the 3rd tree stops short of its top.  The
shadows of the trees further down the path in the marked island do not
match the shadows of the first 4 trees.  Nobody plants a tree in the
middle of a road or bicycle path without some kind of protection from
getting rammed by bicycles or other vehicles.

I skimmed through some of the other photos.  Many looked suspicious,
but none are as obvious as the first photo.
