Welcome to an alien planet. Or is it? This landscape could be straight out of a science fiction film: bizarre trees with tentacle-like crowns, gnarled trunks like scarred skin - and above them a sky as deep blue as if it had been digitally reworked. But no: this is real. This is Namibia. This is the quiver tree forest.
The Aloe dichotoma, better known as the quiver tree, looks like an alien species from a distant galaxy in this scene. You almost think a sandworm from "Dune" is about to shoot past or that a troop of stormtroopers is patrolling between the rocks. But instead: absolute silence, shimmering heat and a place that exudes more magic than any film set.
This picture is made for sci-fi fans, space-time philosophers and anyone who likes to incorporate a bit of extraterrestrial style into their interior design. It's wild, it's beautiful, it's different - and it proves it: Nature itself still has the best film locations.
