Baobao Tree, power of environment


Six of the eight species of baobab tree, often called the “upside down tree” due to its unique shape, are endemic to Madagascar and all are of conservation concern. The Global Trees Campaign is helping the Madagascan NGO Madagasikara Voakajy to research the status and threats to one of these flagship species and to work with local communities and authorities to protect remaining individuals.

I watched environmental documentary show last night, and they introduced the most magnificent tree in the world, "Baobao tree" in madagascar.
From "Global Trees Campaign" website..

































The amazing baobab [wiki] (Adansonia) or monkey bread tree can grow up to nearly 100 feet (30 m) tall and 35 feet (11 m) wide. Their defining characteristic: their swollen trunk are actually water storage - the baobab tree can store as much as 31,700 gallon (120,000 l) of water to endure harsh drought conditions.
Baobab trees are native to Madagascar (it’s the country’s national tree!), mainland Africa, and Australia. A cluster of "the grandest of all" baobab trees (Adansonia grandidieri) can be found in the Baobab Avenue, near Morondava, in Madagascar:

What is Art thou?









What is art thou?
There are thousands of art pieces around us.
It could be stop signs on the street, information signs in parking lots, and many different store signs around the places.
This observation brought me some serious thoughts about what is an art.
Many people think art is something that is in gallery, or hard to see around you but I believe everything around us is a piece of art. Look at the street! it has all different colors and shapes that you might love!
