Hello nature lovers,
I am dedicating this post to Tree Challenge hosted by @bucipuci and it belong to theme Botany which is closely monitored by
@redheadpei.
I missed out last week's challenge which theme was BIRD and I regreat that as I have many bird photos, but that is another reason to give my best effort this week with my tree photos.
At the very first moment, I knew I will choose my cover photos and most photos from an amazing place I visited couple of years ago in Namibia called Deadvlei. I shared quite a lot information about that place when I was writing my travel story from there already, so I will be short here and make photos speaks for itself :)
This place offers amazing photography opportunity and is a must visit while you are traveling around Namibia.
I found interesting article about that trees whic I am sharing with you bellow and adding source underneath:
While Dead Vlei is now a dry desert land, it once contained a flowing river, and housed many trees and plant life in the middle of the desert. Once the desert ran dry around 900 years ago, the climate dried up, and Dead Vlei was blocked off from water access by the towering dunes. It is said that it once was brimming with life, and now only hosts the skeletons of the trees which ones reigned in the valley. Now the temperature is so dry that the trees left over cannot properly decompose. These trees are estimated to be around 1,000 years old. The ground is so dry that it has been bleached white and is extremely rough and texturized.
Below I am adding some additional photos from this travel where tree is main motive...
