A Tree's Ambition

From the photographer: “This is a spring night in PoshtPar, Bushehr, Iran, and three bright objects in the sky are Jupiter, Betelgeuse and Sirius. Yellow-Orange color of the clouds is because of the reflection of Tang_e Eram’s citylight. This is a Pistacia Atlantica tree, species of Pistachio tree known by the English common name Mt.Atlas Mastic tree and as the Persian turpentine tree. In Iran it is called Baneh and in Bushehr, south of Iran, it’s called Kolkhong.”
