Amazing trees
Photos above selected from an album of about 80 images at Widelec (which includes the famous Angel Oak from South Carolina). A couple are 'shopped, and there are some examples of arbosculpture, but most are just impressive or beautiful trees.
The first picture is of the Avenue of the Baobabs on Madagascar.
