Leaning

I have always found this leaning tree quite interesting. It’s just beyond one of the gates to Hajer Garden. I wonder how it doesn’t topple over!

Another strange or unusual element in this strange land. Vote.

It would be fun for kids to climb.

Interesting. The one behind it leans as well - maybe it's the wind or Sun direction that formed them this way or maybe it's just the way these trees grow,

Magnifique prise. V

Well spotted, quite a lean to it and a head hazard for the path.

It looks like a branch, which would have matched the next tree, was cut off - strange for sure - and odd that they made the path right under it !!

Just hoping a kid doesn't decide to climb on it!

do the upper branches correct its centre of gravityas on the one behind?

Interesting. And the one beyond it is leaning too. An intriguing image. V

raucous angle....a tree to be considered, and perhaps judiciously avoided...
