a tall tree
I forget what kind of tree this is... i know it's something i should remember, because it was familiar when Raji told me what it was.  He said that it's a dangerous tree (and you can see why in the lower left corner).

That 800 year old tree is simply amazing.

Aye... it looks like it would be a fun climb. Better alert Rene.

That's funny, cause that's what I was thinking with the picture of the tallest tree in Bangalore.
