Avenue of the Baobabs, an area near Morondava protected since 2007, is all that remains of a once thick forest cleared for farmland. Growing 80 feet (24 meters) or more, baobabs are valued for fruit and bark.

They look like a painting done for a sci-fi story.

I'm guessing it was taken at sunset with low-speed film (or the digital equivalent).  It gives you that rich, deep color saturation that you don't normally get from a regular camera.

Galen Rowell was great at that.
