Quiver Trees at Sunset

These unusual and beautiful trees are known as Quiver Trees because they were once used as quivers to carry arrows.

Great silhouettes! What is a quiver tree? Where do they grow?

@bjywamer They grow in Southern Africa (in this case, Namibia), and are called such because the hollowed branches were used to hold the quivers for the San people.
