Bowed but not beaten

The area around Elachbutting Rock is quite different to some other areas. The tunnel I wrote about is a bit eerie and many of the trees are quite misshapen as though they’ve had a very tough life. There is no bright green foliage. What foliage there is is a dull green. Many of the trees are bent right over as though they’ve experienced some very strong winds while they were forming. I liked this one which, if you follow the trunk, goes off to the right, turns completely over and ends up heading left again until it reaches back to its own trunk.

Those trees do look odd.

@JudyEv Yes, they do... I guess we'd look bad if we were out in the desert heat with not much water, too.

These trees are so unique, they seem to have a flexible personality all their own.

Most were tangled and 'brow-beaten'. Nothing lush and green about the area at all.

I was very intrigued with their shapes. Hardly any were straight and tall.

That is strange, I wonder if it was struggling to reach the light past some other tree that has since fallen?

Amazing. That's a great picture.

The trees all looked quite stressed and very dark.

I love how it curves right around.
