Witchy trees

A stand of twisted oaks, as much ivy as oak, looking out to sea just above the cliff path, on the first evening we were there.  The tide was high and the early evening light off the sea was good.

Ah yes, fantastic - and look at the sun - something we've not seen here for some time! Seems like you are having a great time away.

Grasping is the word that comes to mind. I used to think that ivy was benign but I changed my mind when I lived with a yard overrun by it.

Are the trees supporting the ivy or the ivy helping to support the trees? Hard to say.

What incredible patterns of twisting and twining. And those limpets are so clingy. Great photos.

It looks like one spindly body is wrapping around another one! The word "gnarled" also comes to mind.

What strange and wonderful forms nature can take . . .

I wonder what the rocks and the trees tell each other?
