Garden And Gossip Forums

I took a short staycation to the west of Ireland last weekend. We were on the Wild Atlantic At, net stop east coast of USA.

 A lot of the trees in the area are permanently bent from the off shore Atlantic gale winds. I thought these ones just at the pier where we were staying were lovely and worth sharing so I took a few photos.

That's what they call Air pruning, Can.

Ruggedly beautiful Can.

My dad came from a windy place called Evenwood. 

The local saying was "Evenwood, where ne'r a straight tree stood"

Lived on the coast of North Devon a long time ago and no tree stood straight!

I think they are a thing of beauty
