Windswept Baobab with Hawk

208
A solitary baobab stretches low and wide over the dry savanna of Îles de la Madeleine. Its thick, twisted branches seem sculpted by centuries of ocean wind. Perched at the crown, a dark hawk surveys the terrain—a sentinel in this stark, sun-bleached landscape of resilience and watchfulness.
