Woow..what plant? tree is this? Never seen it before. And thanks for sharing, really nice shot of it!

@Levine: Wow, thanks for all your comments :-)
This kind of tree belongs to the conifer genus and is indeed unique. Do something for your environment: buy one and spread it since it is threatened at its natural habitat.

@dj.tigersprout: Trees of this genus are really spectacular, wished I had a (big) garden: I would grow a whole forest of them!
