Quiver Tree
 |

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| The distinctive quiver tree (Aloe dichotoma) or "kokerboom" - a slow growing, gracefully shaped succulent that derives its common name from the use to which the local Bushmen use its branches for when they hunt. |

Another excellent landscape with the right morning/evening(?) light to enhance the rocks and tree trunk. The sky is a bit noisy, presumably a function of scanning. It could be removed easily with NeatImage (which is free). TFS.

Nice composition. I like the way the picture is split, in diagonal and the tree being on the rilt hand side gives a much better composition than in it was in the middle of the picture.
Hello Colin! What a gorgeous, sunlit, timeless photograph! Most unusual tree, gloriously defying the harsh environment! Composition is very effective as it seems to be growing straight out of the rock. You have a wonderful capture here! Great job! Thanks, Linda
