For PG 101 "texture (found)" theme
This ancient evergreen is often called a Monkey Puzzle tree (because someone though a monkey would not figure how to get to its fruit). They can live almost 1,000 years and have very hard and sharp triangular "leaves" and spikes on the female tree's seed cones as well. They are native to high elevations in South American - this one was in a botanical garden in Queenstown, New Zealand.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
