The Quiver Tree Forest with a rainbow at sunset shortly after a summer thunderstorm. Keetmanshoop, Namibia

A summer thunderstorm creates a stunning rainbow backdrop at sunset over the Quiver tree (Kokerboom) forest near the town of Keetmanshoop in Namibia. The quiver tree or kokerboom (Aloe dichotoma) is a tall, branching species of succulent aloe, indigenous to Southern Africa. They occur specifically in the Northern Cape region of South Africa, and parts of Southern Namibia. Just outside the town of Keetmanshoop in Namibia is a forest of sheer and utter beauty with some of the most fantastic specimens of Quiver Trees to be seen anywhere
