Description
"Serengeti Tree"
This giant old cottonwood (visible from junction of highway 281 and 19 viewing to NW), shot at sunset on an October evening, is one of my favorite trees in Benson County, if not North Dakota. It was a tree at the "Grandpa Roy Thompson" homestead (house now gone). It always reminds me of those trees you see in the African Serengeti, where the lions hang out.. This cottonwood stands proudly in its vast setting and has survived all the harsh conditions that has been thrown at it over the many decades - I'd guess ~100 years. Several other images of this tree are available in my gallery - just search "Serengeti"
