EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, witness the annual summer spectacle in the Cortes de la Frontera National Reserve as skilled workmen delicately strip the bark of cork oaks. These majestic trees, known scientifically as Quercus suber, shed their outer layer during the months of July and August. It's like a fashion show in nature's own catwalk! The cork oak trees proudly reveal their smooth and lustrous skin, leaving onlookers in awe of their natural beauty. With each expertly removed piece of bark, these workmen unveil a new chapter in this botanical performance. This stunning display showcases not only the resilience but also the sustainable use of resources found within our environment. Cork is an essential material used for various purposes such as wine stoppers and flooring tiles. So while it may seem like a striptease act for these magnificent oaks, it actually contributes to our everyday lives! Let this image transport you to an enchanting world where plants take center stage and agriculture meets artistry. Marvel at Mother Nature's ingenious design as she weaves her magic through these stripped cork oaks – true stars of the Cortes de la Frontera National Reserve!
