About "Landscape: Baobabs in Madagascar"

My version of a scene from Baobab Alley in Madagascar. This alley is lined on both sides by these giant Baobab trees. It has been declared a National Tourist attratction in Madagascar.

In the rest of the regions on this large island, these trees are being brought down at an alarming rate. I wanted to portray their plea by having them placed in such a ways as if they were holding “hands” as protection against MAN. The setting sun symbolises the possibility that these gentle giants may become extinct if we do not take care.
