The Traveller's Tree

Known as the Traveller's Tree of Madagascar,the leaves are fan shaped and grows to 7 to 8 metres.One reason often cited for the tree's unusual name is that these two-sided trees supposedly point east/west. But a more likely explanation is that each stem contains four pints of liquid, which could be life-saving for a traveler in the wild.

Hi Amal, thanks for mentioning my name :-) as one of your inspiration. We are all here to share our sights & knowlege. Very interesting info of this Traveller's Tree that stores liquid. Never knew that. Do you have a picture of the full tree?

Cherlyn, I shot a small portion of the tall tree to capture the weaving pattern. I do not have any image of the whole tree. I shall send you one.

I like the geometrical configuration it makes, very good detail and colors. Nicely captured.

Javed, many thanks for your visit and appreciation.

Amal, Very original both in textures and colors. You are my inspiration too. Let's continue to encourage one another and keep going. Shalom :0))

Thank you very much,Spencer.SHALOM.
