'Morning Achim,
A superb contribution to this week's theme. The unrecognized tree (to me that is) is well framed, the forest appears very arid as evidenced by the slightly hazy but intense blue sky. Exposure appears optimum. Well done and my best regards. Danilo

Hello Achim,

Very unusual trees captured in this shot, full of shapes and textures. Strong sunshine and heat haze seem evident but do not spoil your sharp focus.
My only suggestion would have been to include something which would give us a clue towards the scale.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

HI Achim
Interesting note and fascinating tree.
The countryside looks rugged yet very arid and vast, their desert I presume.
Its a very good entry for the theme and thank you for sharing.

hello Achim

the 1st impression I got when looking at this photo is extremely Hot weather and dryness, the blue sky and the clarity in it say that out loud too.. fantastic info about the Kokerboom tree and how it stores water in its trunk... you captured the atmosphere amazingly, the placement of the trees,the DOF and all the details and the contrast of colors are nicely presented and framed... excellent contribution for the theme..

have a nice WE

It's interesting to see the many types of trees in this theme, but this is probably the most unique to me. Very interesting landscape as well. Lovely detail. TFS

Hi Achim

A good landscape shot, from this remote arid region of South West Africa. Good sharpness, colour & lighting contrasts. Tfs!

hi Achim

Wow! I am impressed.

This type of tree is very special and unique.

I have seen and am impressed with the Baobab african tree and even though this is smaller, it is also very interesting.

You did very nicely with this composition and POV to enhance the beauty of the tree in such a blue theme of the landscape and the bare land.

Good work.

tfs, bill
