The Bristlecone Pine Looks Like Its Giving You The Finger

My sister said that this tree looks like it's giving you the middle finger (branch on far right). Can anybody else see it?

 

This was a summertime trip to Patriarch Grove. The smoke was so bad in the Owens Valley you couldn't see a mile. So we thought about getting high... high in elevation to escape all the smoke from the nearby wildfires and It worked.

 

There was just a tiny bit of haze at 11,000 feet high and it felt good to breathe fresh air again. My sister and two nieces liked walking around the ancient trees.
