The view of a canyon on Socotra is framed by a Dragon Blood tree as the morning sun rises. Dragon Blood Trees are found only on Socotra and are known by the Yemeni people for their healing powers. The blood red sap is not just used as a medicine, but also for a wide variety of other uses from varnish for violins to dyes. On the island of Socotra the children, upons seeing tourists, scamper over offering bags of dried Dragon Blood sap for sale. The island is incredibly rocky with sharp pointed volcanic rocks. The children literally run across these rocks. We asked to see their feet. Their feet were covered in calluses with deep crevices.
