This is my favorite tree, I call it the Tree of Life, later it has huge heart shaped leaves and big mauve flowers rather like chestnut candles. Here one can see the remains of the seed pods.

This is the most wonderfull resource, absolutely essential, a unique record of life on earth.


Untamed by Steve Bloom
For more than ten years, wildlife photographer Steve Bloom traveled all over the world, roaming through the jungles of Borneo, the African savannahs, and the frozen banks of Antarctica to assemble this dazzling collection of photographs of animals in their natural environments. With an international range that is rare in books of animal photography, the 200 photographs in Untamed bring to life a vast panorama of animal diversity, and of the landscapes, climates, and habitats in which they live.
