Carmel tree
I found one amazing tree, protected by a well worn fence. Difficult to know if it was shaped by the wind coming from the ocean, or by the owners of the garden, as are some trees in Japan, scientifically trimmed and pruned by the human hand. Had I been Ansel Adams, I would probably have gotten a much better photograph, but the idea that he may have seen this tree one day enticed me to try . And anyway, the contorsion of the wood was so special that I wanted to document it. As in a Japanese garden, there are some supports for the branches and it made me think that it belonged to a Japanese person or there was a Japanese gardener in charge of it. Who knows ?
