Under the Banyan Tree

This is a portion of the famous Banyan tree of Yangshuo. I'd say I captured about a quarter of the tree in this picture. But lest you feel slighted, it's definitely the prettiest fourth of the tree. As you can see, some of the branches grow straight down and contribute to the extensive root system of the tree, allowing the tree to grow insanely huge. I'm not sure how this benefits the tree, other than drawing millions of tourists that will take flash photos, aiding the tree in its photosynthetic efforts. Posted by Picasa
