Banyan trees in the City – Port Louis, Mauritius

Took a few pictures of these majestic Banyan trees in the Company Garden in Port-Louis.

I first discovered this species on a trip to Cambodia and I was awed by their size and their beauty. I am not an expert in botanic, but I guess that the Banyan trees I saw in Cambodia aren’t exactly the same species as the ones I saw in Mauritius. In any case, “witness trees” around the world often carry a spiritual load and we should take time to reflect on the past while admiring them and remind ourselves of the importance of protecting them.
