Fairy-tale forest

Драконовое дерево

Apparently, here is the highest density of Dragon Trees on Socotra. In some places trees are so dense that their branches grow together creating a feeling of a real fairy-tale forest.

When wandering among the trees on the upper edge of the canyon it is quite easy to imagine Spielberg’s film frames with flying pterodactyls :-)

    As far back as in Alexander of Maсedon’s times Socotra supplied a great deal of not only frankincense and myrrh, but also Dragon’s blood, which was rubbed in by gladiators before combats for quick wound healing.
