A young Aloe pillansii (Giant Quiver Tree) towers over fields of small yellow wild flowers (as far as the eye can see). In Desert time this Aloe pillansii is still a baby, and it hasn't even made side branches yet (but in human time, it has been around for a few generations already).

"I am a 3D VFX Supervisor working in the Film and Television visual effects and animation industry. Animation is not my only passion. South Africa is a beautiful country with an average of 320+ warm sunshine days a year. I try and spend as much time possible outdoors, and love photographing nature for inspiration.
