If it eases your mind, walking underneath these trees felt really relaxing :)

Sadly true. Our guide told us that the tree population basically halved in the last 150 years.

I love those things. They remind me of the paintings of Max Ernst. Saw them once, will go again one day.

It's all a photoshoped illusion. ;)

Patience :)

As i understand now there a 3 weekly flights to Socotra. 2 from Abu Dhabi and 1 from Aden. I wouldnt dare to touch the Aden one though...

I was looking back and this was definitely taken with a 14mm but I think I cropped it a little. I took this is 2018 so it’s been awhile

That’s a really cool looking spider!

Really 14mm? Nice. I just checked my photos and realized I mainly was looking at the film sots which were 24mm, because its a film camera. My other one was 16mm and was quite close though I didn't get to this nice of a spot.

I’ve been there! It’s beautiful. I have lots of pictures too, but just on an iphone camera

That’s some prehistoric looking sh!t

Pink Floyd is there.

It's a life goal of mine to see that tree in person. This would mean many things would be right in the world.

An American tourist would be welcomed in Yemen.

I don't know why, but something about this makes my skin crawl... Like something internally is screaming

Facts. Its amazing people dont fall in on a daily basis there. We saw a guy jump the railing and trip. Inches from going in because he was going for a IG video or something. Ridiculous.

It looks like the Morrowind graphical remake is coming along nicely!

When life gives you a Yemen, you make Yemenade.

Awesome! Can I keep it at home?

Oh, wait, at home it will look just like any other Dracaena :( :(

Soon to be extinct. Visit them while you can.

Of course :)
