Photo: Here&#39;s a photo for #TreeTuesday, looking up through the branches of a quiver tree in Namibia&#39;s Quiver Tree Forest. The quiver tree gets its name from the local bushmen&#39;s practice of hollowing out the branches to make quivers for their arrows. Technically I&#39;m cheating though because despite the name, it isn&#39;t a tree but actually part of the aloe family (Aloe dichotoma).

Here&#39;s another photo showing what these unusual plants look like in silhouette: https://plus.google.com/photos/104380036950579300637/albums/5625270201107754657/5625273948668568482
