A BAOBAB TREE...

[Southernboy]

Amazing how one learns something new about one's country which should be "common" knowledge...here are some pics of a tree which has been carved, but nobody seems to know when and by who...the tree is apparently estimated at over 500 years old...Looks like a Z roadster trip coming up....even if I need an off road bike to cover the last miles...

From afar...


Get up close...


...and some detail...



...now I need to find out where the tree is...

....I just googled this article...seems it started a s a hoax in India...something about "the tree of life"....so, the forwarded email has now become a tree in so many different countries...it's truly a tree of life on the internet....

....that's a good urban myth to set off...I just may start a worldwide thread and blame you for it....

As I was reading the first post I was wondering, is this not just the Tree of Life from Disney's Animal Kingdom? http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Tree_of_Life

...I think that may be where this all started...
