Quiver Tree Forest Sunset (Namibia)
Sunset over the spectacular and prehistoric-looking Quiver Tree Forest in Namibia.
The quiver tree or kokerboom (Aloidendron dichotomum), is a tall, branching species of succulent plant, indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, and parts of Southern Namibia.
Known as ‘choje’ to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its English common name from the San people practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of Aloidendron dichotomum to form quivers for their arrows. (Source: Wikipedia)
