The Priddy Tree. A lone Scots Pine that stands on a small hill above Waldegrave Pool at Priddy Pools near Priddy, Somerset.
The quiver tree or "Kokerboom" is one of the most interesting and characteristic plants of the very hot and dry parts of Namibia and the northwestern part of the Cape Province in South Africa. Actually it is no tree, but an aloe plant. The botanical name is ALOE DICHOTOMA. Dichotoma refers to the forked branches of the plant. The plant is called a "Kokerboom" because some Bushmen and Hottentot tribes used the tough, pliable bark and branches to make quivers for their arrows. "Koker" is the Afrikaans word for quiver. The big trees in the forest of Farm Gariganus are between 200 and 300 years old.
Corner of John William Street and Church Street in Pearl Assurance House. Large open pub on two levels. I had an average pint of Saltaire, Empress IPA on my visit.
It's becoming tradition for me to take a night shot of this tree whenever I'm at "The Animal House", even on Christmas : )

A Japanese Maple backlit by the sun in its full autumn glory. The color on this tree is absolutely amazing and this image truly does not do it justice. The branching on this tree is exquisite as well. The tree is probably 50 years old and resides on the grounds of an old Philadelphia mansion. Autumn on Fire~!
Have a Great Weekend~!
