This picture is at a special angle making it look curious to me. At first glance it reminded me tall Chir pine of mid Himalaya. But the beautiful narration then revealed it as a leafless tree, full of long pods, of *Sesbania grandiflora*. Special picture, beautiful narration ! Thanks for sharing picture and the moments associated with it.
