Thanks! A long exposure time plus strong high winds made the clouds really long and smooth.

Yeah, doubt picture would be as beautiful!

I respectfully disagree.

That glacial till though.

i was just thinking wow these trees look like they grow in areas of extremely localised rain. and i bet they are prettty annoying to climb and even more annoying if you fall off

so many frogs at their feet tho that can help you go fast!

I have heard of a tree that holds the entire world but why have you shot it upside down?

Welcome & Thank you!

You can post this photo somewhere else telling people it's a picture from an alien planet, and people will believe it .

I always found it fascinating that different parts of the world have animals and plants that other parts of the world don’t have.

Idk why

Me too. It’s now my wallpaper. On everything. It inspires me :)

Born and raised not far from this pic. It really is as beautiful as you'd think. The surrounding area too.

They look like placentas! Super cool!

Walking through the landscape of Socotra it really does feels like that.

Thanks!

Yeah, thats true. It surely wasn't 95% clouds, thankfully :)

Basically all the plants look weird because they need to resist strong winds in the summer months. I am gonna post more of those, I've got a few pics left in the pipeline :) Animal live was pretty standard, I've seen many endemic lizards. But they looked like ordinary lizards to me.

you should share this on /r/3dprinting and make a stupid joke about tree supports ;-)

The photo shows an overcast sky. I think they used the word correctly.

Thats exactly what our guide told my photo group :)

Thanks!

That sounds amazing!
