We are in a desert zone and we went to see a forest. Weird, isn't it?
In fact, it is about an area where ancient trees now transformed in rock are scattered around the plain. These trees should be about 260 million years old and were carried to this site by floods. Apparently, the trees could have originated as far as Congo.
It's a fascinating display since it is really possible to recognize a tree, a branch, a knot or even tree rings.
Tree rings can be seen.
A knot.
It wanted to play seek and hide with us.
