Description
A banyan tree spreads its branches over several family plots in Key West cemetery. Banyans are one of several trees which represent an axis mundi, with the branches, trunk, and roots connecting the heavens, the earth, and the underworld. The banyan tree is sacred to the Hindu religion and is called "Ashwath Vriksha" in Sanskrit (from Wikipedia). See more in my Key West gallery. Image copyright Kathi Shotwell, all rights reserved.
