Description
Trees awe us with their strength, majesty, and longevity; they offer shade and respite; they give us food, something to climb, places to hide: they literally give us clean air to breathe. And they are essential to the beauty of the world's landscapes: the woodlands, forests, wetlands, and cities. A new addition to the lively Audubon line-up, this calendar celebrates the diversity and splendour of the world's trees. A single camelthorn tree stands alone mid the orange sand dunes of Namibia. Pointy cypress trees add to the romance of the Tuscan countryside. Plus birch trees in Maine, tropical palms in Venezuela, and quiver trees, glowing in the early morning light, close to Southern Kalahari. Each month's beautifully photographed image is a testament to the power of nature and a reminder of the importance of preservation.
