Lining a dirt road near the remote western coast of Madagascar, ancient baobab trees grow skyward as they have for centuries. After spending 20 hours in what the locals call "taxi brousses" (literally, "bush taxis") we finally made it to the famous "Avenue of the Baobabs," tired, thirsty, and not a little giddy from the scene before us. Surrounded by ancient giants, we watched day fade into night, as we fed mosquitoes and waited til just the right moment to snap the photo above. A Land Rover drove through the shot during the 30-second time delay, giving it a nice touch.
