Antiaris, Kandy Botanical Garden, Sri Lanka
Trees, often overlooked and hard to photograph. During a free morning in the city of Kandy, we took a visit to the botanical gardens. It is centuries old and has an impressive array of trees from all over the world. A good opportunity to use my 14-24mm wide angle, which really is required to fit these trees in the frame.

''Antiaris toxicaria'' is a tree in the mulberry and fig family, Moraceae. It is the only species currently recognized in the genus ''Antiaris''. It has a remarkably wide distribution in tropical regions, occurring in Australia, tropical Asia, tropical Africa, Indonesia, Philippines, Tonga, and various other tropical islands.
