Upside-Down Tree


Title – Upside-Down Tree
Date – August 2003
Location - Ifaty - Madagascar

The Baobab Tree is known to locals as the ‘upside-down tree’ and it’s not difficult to see why. Adapted perfectly to it environment the lack of leaves saves on water evaporation and the bulbous trunk is one of natures great water storage devises. The trees define the landscape and tower over every other living organism setting a scene that would be perfectly at home on an alien planet.

Beyond The Blue realises the value of adapting to your new environment and through our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop we help individuals to evolve for the environments they are planning to visit on the course of their travels.
