We took this picture while hiking a trail in the Horseshoe Bend Military Park.At first we thought someone had made a fence, but on farther inspection we saw that it was natural. I've never saw a tree like this before. It really does look like a fence! What do you think?

i have seen trees in the shape of seats and things, and they were naturally formed by the heavy snow sitting on them for the winter.. anyway, its still cool reguardless!!

Now that was awesome looking.
It is odd how trees grow in bizarre shapes etc isn't it?
Thanks for sharing this here.

That tree is so incredible. Wish we could make a tree grow that way! That is so cool. I said it before, isn't it awesome what nature can do? Thanks for showing us this picture.

trees and plants have a kind of flexibility that is both disturbing and inspiring. left to their own devices they can wrap around objects and create strange works of unintentional art. properly pruned and cultivated they can be made into curious, compelling and useful shapes of all sorts.
given time trees can grow around just about anything. historically, there are a number of legends, rumors and hoaxes regarding man-and-cow-eating trees. trees that consume people, animals or other objects have also featured prominently in various works of literary faction such as Little Shop of Horrors.

I've saw some of the pruned trees and they do look pretty cool. I believe they have shows where people prune trees and win prizes. Anyway, I've saw rabbits, and everything else made out of trees. Those are cool, but when nature does it, it's even better!

Now that's pretty weird/cool. Just goes to show that God has a pretty cool imagination.
