A link to Baobab Alley was e-mailed

Menabe, Madagascar
Once, forests of Baobab trees that resemble giant mushrooms blanketed parts of Madagascar. But deforestation from farming destroyed most of them -- except for the Avenue of the Baobabs, or Baobab Alley, in the Menabe region of western Madagascar.

Visit at twilight to capture your National Geographic-worthy picture of the trees etched against an African sunset.
