Appics featured 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge by @davidgermano

A majestic cork oak (Quercus suber) rises at the end of the trail, on the iconic Alentejo plain. This particular tree species was declared a symbol of the Portuguese nation, being protected by law. It's also the most iconic tree in the sunny and warm Alentejo, the largest region in Portugal.

Congratulations on the second place in yesterday´s European Thursday Photo Challenge with this stunning photo, @davidgermano! It is my pleasure to give you my 50% upvote on one of your posts.
