One of the most popular man-touched landscapes in the United States is the Disney Theme Park in Orlando, Florida. In the Wild Animal Kingdom, this amazing "Tree of Life" dominates the landscape as you walk through the park. It is a 145-foot sculpture of a baobab tree with over 8,000 branches of very different sizes and about 102,000 artificial leaves. It debuted when the attraction opened on April 22, 1998. Inspired by the mythological concept, the Tree of Life features 325 carvings of existing and extinct animal species on its trunk and surrounding roots; after Jane Goodall's visit, her famous subject David Graybeard was carved into the tree. The sculpture took 18 months to create. Animal Kingdom has millions of trees and greens; The Tree of Life is one of the park's few artificial trees. Disney took our natural landscape and created a place for all to come, no matter how old or from how far. This tree is so life-like and its carvings so detailed, it makes you forget for a moment just how much land Disney used for his endeavors. Shot with my Canon EOS 60D, no flash, no tripod.
