Giant Trees of Ho Chi Minh City

Apparently they belong to the dipterocarp family of trees. Commonly called Meranti here in Malaysia, I found out. These were over 100 years old I was told and this particular street was lined with them. Really majestic. I rushed to the middle of the intersection and quickly snapped a few frames and then ran off to the kerb before the lights turned green to save my butt from the mad scooter horde.
