Info about this Photo....

This is called "Puzzle-like"

 It is a pattern of the individual tree crowns separated by gaps and outlined against the sky. This phenomenon is called " Crown Shyness"....

The reason for its name is because the leaf tips of the Dryobalanops aromatica appear to be shy towards their own kind, hence forming the gap.... COOOL Kan = ).

This tree is also known as Kapur Tree and has a nice smelling known as camphor, 

one of the main component of making ointment. The ointment is used for stomach massages after child delivery...
