Baobab trees against the horizon of Senegal feels very African.
This is also because the six species of baobab trees are only found in that continent except for one.
Still, it is a question sight when you see these awesome giants standing on the horizon.
These baobab trees as they are also called are fascinating aren't they?
Their strange shape invites all kinds of stories about them.
One such story states that the creator who makes everything is said to have planted trees upside down.
Indeed, they seem to be upside down because the jagged crown looks a lot like root.
The hard fruits are huge and can be harvested.
