This is called the Tree of Life. It is in Bahrain, in the middle of the desert and has survived for about 500 years, when it is only supposed to last of 200 or so. Nobody knows how it gets its water which makes it incredibly amazing as it is the only naturally occurring tree in the area!

I like the sun coming through the branches.

That’s a remarkable photo you got there, I’m kind of partial to backlit trees. It’s even better because of the interesting information you give in the introduction. Do you know what sort of tree this is?

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

mmmm this is beautiful. I love the angle of the sun through it as well and you left enough desert in to get an idea of how isolated it is. Wow :-)

This is a cool tree, I think it would have been a little better if it had less exposure, but over all it is very nice.

Capturing for infinity that which only lasts for a short time.

I agree with drgib- less exposure would be nice. (bluer sky) Also- to my eye- it would be nicer to see less desert in front (where it appears messy) and more in the background. But I'm very glad you shared this very unique tree- and it is still a very pleasing image.

when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!

Only something is missing: Forest Gump and his best friend Jenny. GREAT SHOT!
