At the end of a two hour long walk the cool shade of this Ficus was most welcoming. As I focused my phone camera towards the hill and temple atop, the tree formed a lovely ‘frame’ to the photo.
Most temples have a Ficus growing in their courtyard – usually Ficus religiosa or Ficus benghalensis. This seems to be a Ficus racemosa. All Ficus belong to the Moraceae family and are quite easy to identify.
We hiked in the Bopdev Ghat area of Pune and the place is mostly devoid of trees. There are several hills around and being the monsoon, we could see almost all shades of green. A sight for sore eyes indeed! The few trees that did grow markedly stood out from a distance.
I am joining Parul in her ThursdayTreeLove blog hop. Do head over to see some fantastic trees from around the world. Better still, join in!

Interesting photos and an exotic location (for me anyway.) I like the clouds, too. The cloud in the first photo seems like part of the frame crossing the phone line. There’s a lot going on in this photo with diagonal lines.
Indeed yes… There’s a lot to take away from this image!! Thanks JoAnna!
Great post!

I love that frame and how the tree sort of completes the picture, Archana. So glad you shared 🙂 Thank you for joining!

Nice staging of the shot. Trees make the best frames. 🙂
