"German Tree" Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.

In 1892 two German brothers (Adolph and Friedrich Siedentopf)
settled in the Crater. Their plan was to settle here and farm the
area. They plowed the land and planted trees. Only a few of the
trees survived after their failed attempt to live off this harsh
landscape. This is one of just a few trees that still stands today.

• Biography
  Born in a small mid-western town in the US I have always been a rural girl at heart with a great love for animals, open spaces and nature. After earning my degree in Fine Art from Universities in Minnesota, life landed me working and living in large cities for the bulk of my career. I worked for US corporations in Phoenix, Hong Kong, London, and Los Angeles from 1990 to 2006. Fast forward to today, and a much slower way of life, remote Arizona is home.
