22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A majestic tree
Captured in Namibia during the very early hours of the day, this photograph features a quiver tree. Renowned for their cultural importance among the San people and in southern Africa, quiver trees hold practical significance in toolcraft, symbolize hunting and survival, contribute to cultural identity, potentially bear spiritual significance, and fit into the broader context of environmental awareness and sustainable living. Through this image, I aimed to restore the grandeur of this majestic tree.
