Pic(k) of the week 24: Lava tree

While away in the South of Spain last month, I was amazed by the number of large trees in parks and streets. Ten years ago this would have gone un-noticed, but since being in Dubai, I've really started appreciating nature at its best! Especially if you realize some of these trees were there pre World War II, even WW I. Isn't this amazing?

Probably influenced by the recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland and Chile, the image above makes me think of the rivers of lava flowing off a volcano...
