It reminds me of a game we played when I was kid: You have the King, his right hand man, left hand man, but where is the chaser? He's taking the picture. Just lovely. Obviously you took this in the forest of the land of Oz.

Thanks, all. John, not the Land of Oz, just my local hills. It's an area called Great Bear, though we've not had bears around here for a very long time.

Indeed, I knew that of course. But your tree images are so evocative that they remind me of this song by Stan Rogers, called Giant. It's mythical and haunting, referencing the Druids. He conjures a fire in the midst of a forest like your trees!

Lyrics, by Stan Rogers. He died June 2, 1983, in plane crash.
'Twas the same ancient fever in the Isles of the Blest
That our fathers brought with them when they "went West"
It's the blood of the Druids that never will rest
The giant will rise with the moon'

Plant the acorns carefully, Then, as they start to grow, visit them once a month to twist them gently. Repeat for twenty years or more.

When the elves dance amongst them, the trees try to join in and then get fixed in these twisted positions

That's much better than my explanation.

That sounds reasonable.. was afraid it had something to do with arificial intelligence, machine learning ... and so on...
