Windswept
Trees finding a niche in rock cracks. Not sure what the tree in the foreground is, maybe a juniper or cedar. The back one is likely a Jeffrey Pine. It's so impressive that the closest one can grow to this size with such a restricted base. I'm not sure what sculpted it; the wind surely played a part; the wind's effect is seen especially in the tree in back. At the top of the granite slabs in the uppermost part of Tenaya Canyon.
