Deodar
Deodar trees were a part of my travel to Uttarakhand. These trees are a speciality of cold places. Their leaves are needle-like. Such that they stitch up a fabric of beauty throughout the western Himalayan region. Deodars to me were the fairy of this heaven welcoming me and greeting me throughout the travel in hills.

52Plants - Week 1. Cedrus deodara
Common names: Deodar Cedar, Himalayan cedar, Deodar/Devdar/Devadaru
Usage: Lumber is rot-resistant and fine grain, great for construction. Aromatic oil has antifungal properties and repels insect pests. Used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine. Popular as an ornamental tree in Europe and North America.
Identification: Tall pyramidal canopy, graceful pendulous branches of 1-2in slender silver-green needles, upright barrel-shaped cones which disintegrate when mature.
Metaphysical Usage: Deodar is a sacred tree, called "tree/wood of the gods" in Sanskrit, dedicated to Shiva. Attributes are similar to other cedars. Meditate with the living tree, make ritual objects (eg wands or drums) with its wood, or use as incense or oil.

Our intent was to capture a time lapse of our last sunset in @vilamendhoo before we head back home to San Francisco. We instead captured the incredible force of the current and wind as seen by the movement of the clouds and water seeming to be in synchrony with each other. We did see a brief glimpse of the change in the color of the sky turning into bright orange towards the end of the video. What an end to this memorable holiday. We are coming back, Maldives. Shukuriyaa! #timelapse #timelapsesunset #maldives #vacation #deodar #deo53 (at Vilamendhoo, South Ari Atoll, Maldives) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomHJnaAOLR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ixn6zz5ui0xb

Head pillowed on moss and stone, Among cedarwood and pine and oak, The druid dreams a fitful sleep, Honeyed with prophecy. It is time for a new vision, A new age has begun.
