Unity in Green

Two banyan trees intertwined into one. Set on a tropical lush hillside on the winding road of Kohala Mountain Road, Kona Kohala, Big Island, Hawaii. Also referenced as a ficus, the enormous roots sprawl from the tree to expand in epic proportions. Vines, branches, and other vegetation create the appealing and impressive treea€™s presence. Similar to the trees found in Cambodia, Gibbosa, Moss, Prohm, and ancient ruins throughout UNESCO Heritage sites

Aircraft contrail

Aircraft contrail. Airplane producing a contrail, or vapour trail in a clear sky. Contrails are artificial clouds formed from frozen water droplets from the exhaust of the engines of an aircraft. They form when aircraft are flying at altitudes exceeding 5000 metres and when the upper atmosphere is nearly saturated with moisture. In dry air the contrail quickly dissipates. Photographed over Cairngorms National Park, in winter
