i just visited the Mont Ventoux, but even there you cannot find these kind of windshaped trees...
This must be a very windy area.

Be sure to tie on your hat.

Permanently blown, even without a trace of wind!

It reminds me of one of Ansel Adams' famous tree pix.
Here is my version of it from a slide in 1971, and the same tree in 1991 (alas).

Here's another one, except people once actually lived here: http://www.russ-lewis.com/photo_gallery/ForTheWind/content/Alexander_Kansas_2006_large.html

That 1991 might make a great b/white too.

Effective combination of the rocky foreground, wind-blown trees in the middle, and the rolling hills in background.

The title suggested something...what shall I say...a little more exciting, perhaps?

Then I remembered where I was.

Russ would say, tut tut.

I've been there twice, on the limestone pavement above Ingleton. On each occasion the wind at the edge has been strong enough to make me fear for my balance, and on ground like that, that's a worry. It calms a little further into the plateau.

I think it would, yes.

Sorry, Russ.

;-)

[RSL]

Yes. I would.

[KLaban]

Yes. I would.

Well now, there's a surprise.
