Looking around, I notice only naked brunches. Except for the rosemary bush in front of the window, which is constantly loosing leafs due to culinary reasons, the other plants around are the type of ever-green-cemetery-like bushes. I realise, I really miss the blossoming trees already.
So, looking here and there, I found the 10 Most magnificent trees in the world . The trees are indeed beautiful, but the stories and the history around them are the magnificent one.
For example, the one about the Tree of Ténéré or L’Abre du Ténéré was the world’s most isolated tree – the solitary acacia, which grew in the Sahara desert in Niger, Africa, was the only tree within more than 250 miles (400 km) around. Apparently, being the only tree in that part of the wide-open desert wasn’t enough to stop a drunk Libyan truck driver from driving his truck into it, knocking it down and killing it.
