While many trees, if not all, can show the direction of the prevailing wind, I think these hardy specimens may have more to challenge them than those in places of greater shelter. They make wonderful sculptures and although it’s certainly not the first time I have photographed trees like these, they never loose their interest for me.
Crossing back over the fields to return to the starting point of my walk this week, the mist never really lifted, not properly, and the damp atmosphere continued to hang in the air but without the wind suggested by the trees.
I love these tree-symbols of strong winds – we have trees like them in western Denmark too 😉
Happy New Year to you!
