@Arash: Hello Arash!
I am sorry but I do not know the name of this tropical tree... it's its natural defense, like thorns.
Quite awesome isn't it?
Thanks for your visit :)

Fantastique... oui, au début, j'ai cru que c'était des coquillages accrochés à un rocher... vaut mieux ne pas se faire piquer... vu la taille des ergots!

Bom enquadramento.
Ninguém pode tocar nesse tronco. Ele está mesmo muito bem protegido. :-)
