Drago Milenario. Icod de los Vinos

Icod De Los Vinos is situated in North Tenerife between Garachico and Puerto de la Cruz famous mainly for it's celebrated Drago or Dragon tree, thought to be more than 1000 years old (although officially it's dated at 800 years old). Indeed the Dragon Tree is a sight worth seeing, set in the main pretty Plaza San Marcos. Dragon trees are the oldest species of fauna on the Canaries and this dragon tree in Icod is one of the largest on the Canaries, stretching up to 17 meters, with a 20 meters base.

The colors of the flags are breaking the green tone!

Hi Tsilla,

Bonsoir Tsilla

Nice contribution to the theme. Amazing tree. Image is sharp and well exposed. I would have prefer not to see all those flags in foreground. But I understand, sometime it's not possible to get a good POV. However, it is still a nice contribution and TFS

Hi Tsilla
I have seen many trees so far and I have to admit that this one is really noticeble with all its branches trimmed neatly.
You have a fantastic dof with lights and shadows.
