Old world charm in a modern age!

Madagascar, 2000

Like the pillars at the entrance of an ancient Roman ruin, a stand of baobab trees frames a dirt road in Madagascar.

Found in the savannas of Africa and India, the baobab is a godsend to locals who use nearly every part of the tree for food, medicine, and even shelter.

It's funny how they focus on the trees not the imagery. To me it's like something from an old Master.
