Twisted Tree

On Thursday, I came upon a twisted tree. Took one picture from the car with the window rolled down. I was at a stop sign and had to stop anyways, and there were no cars around, so, I did it. Then I though, this tree is amazing, I need to check this tree out a little closer. I parked, got up close and took a few more pictures.

How does this happen? It's like a giant has tried to pull this tree out like a weed, twisting it. I have no idea what kind of tree it is. Is there a kind of tree that grows like this? Funny thing is, while I was taking the picture, the thought of tilting my head back to look at the leaves did not even enter my mind.

  1. Naturen är fantastisk! Vilka skojsiga bilder på naturens växtkraft man kunde se på din länk. Helt otroligt hur träd växer in och över saker. Det är som att inget kan stoppa växtkraften. Fascinerande är vad det är... Man undrar vad som gjort att trädet på din bild blivit så där vridet... Annorlunda och unikt kan man verkligen kalla trädet....

    De där som verkar göra stolar och lekställningar av levande träd - är helt galet roligt Det vore väl något att ha en levande lekställning.....eller fåtölj....

    Skojsigt!

    Har varit ute hela dagen i trädgården. Sakta men säkert är snart 'vårarbetet' klart.... Håller på att gå igenom alla bloggar nu, men det är alldeles strax läggdags..... (klockan är 00.30 här)....:-)

  11. Dear Annelie,

    Thank you for these amazing images!
    I'm a PhD student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a co author of the keynote paper to the 6th European-African Conference on Wind Engineering, Cambridge, UK July 2013.
    I would like to ask for your permisson to use an image of a tree with a twisted trunk, published on your website on May 8th 2010, for this paper. This is an educational-non commercial venue.


    Respectfully,

      Thank you for asking!
      Hope the paper went well.

      Best,

      Annelie

  13. Tree's are twisted like this because of earths energy, if you were to detect a magnetic field around a twisted tree, 80% of the time you would get a high reading this is because the tree is in a magnetic field which is pointing north. As we know magnetic fields are like tornadoes the whirl, which then twists the tree as it grows.
