When I looked at the scaled photo at first, I thought it was a Baobob -- I guess because I'm a fan of Le Petit Prince. But I think the perspective distortion from the angle the photo was snapped at gives an exaggerated fullness to the trunk. Plus upon closer inspection the foliage appears more like needles than broadleafs, and the trunk has the scaley look of something in the cedar family. So that's my SWAG. Do I earn my forestry badge?
