Baobab

Here in Denmark this winter has arrived with short and dark days – and frost, snow and icecold winds….

So why not start dreaming of warmer and more pleasant places?

Let’s go to Africa!:

May I present a very special and beautiful tree: The baobab tree.

Baobab is definitely one of my favorite trees!

I was lucky to be two weeks in Tanzania this year, a fantastic country with an amazing nature and wildlife, and friendly people (despite the fact that we white people from the north for many years have not treated them properly and with respect)

Here is another baobab tree. A Masai shepherd stands with a few of his animals near the tree.

Baobab is known as the tree of life, it can be several thousand years old. It stores thousands of litres of water inside the trunk. And it is shedding the leaves during the dry season.

Watch more photos from Tanzania here on my blog  in the following weeks!
