Against all odds the tree lives in rock, wind, little water....but oh what a view.

“Decide today that there’s going to be a plot twist in your life story. Be that twist.”
― Toni Sorenson
there were a lot of interesting dead pinyon-juniper trees with twisted trunks and limbs....I like the detail in this one, as well as how it framed that rock formation in the background, which my imagination sees a mans head with his mouth open....

Last minute shopping and on a budget? Here's the answer for you!!http://roxifiranelli.com/2014/12/23/twisted-krissmuss/
This is one of the first photos I took at Hohenzollern castle on Monday. After climbing the hill on which the castle is located, you enter the building through several gates and over several drawbridges and get a first impression of what a labyrinth this castle is.
The springs have sprung! These bits of metal were sticking up out of the sand this morning after a heavey storm last night. Possibly parts of the old sea defence to save the dunes - sadly now washed away from Exmouth!!
Our minds are not the product of an exceptional injection of some sort of thinking substance stored timelessly above the physical plane in an immaterial reservoir of perfect being. Nor are our admirable powers of thought coherently accounted for by the arbitrary claim that they are nothing but the result of a reshuffling of mindless atoms over billions of years. Rather, we are given sufficient reason to trust our minds if we interpret their existence as part of a continuous cosmic drama of awakening to indestructible rightness. Mind (or thought) is the universe in a relatively new and fragile stage of awakening to the horizon of infinite comprehensibility, truth, goodness, and beauty.

In the early 1950s my parents lived for 18 months in the USA, and brought from there a corkscrew for left handed people. I grew up using that "weird" device, which had to be turned in the "wrong" direction to work properly.
In the 1990s, while in Japan, I found an exactly identical crockscrew also for left handed people, and the familiarity with the device led me to buy it.
One day, when I had some friends having dinner at my place, one of them decided to uncork a bottle of wine and, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't do it. Frustrated, he asked me what was wrong with the corkscrew and I answered that it was for left handed people and he would have to turn it "the other way around". He looked at me utterly disappointed and said: "Only you would buy anything like this". :-D
Well , the twists and turns of these stairways remind me of this incident :-)

TWISTED SHOUT
The camera lures you to scene. The lens focuses on your intended. It's up to you to decide if you want to dance or stand rigid against the wall with the others.
Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 08/02/2025 - Twisted .
Well these bits of copper wire in different colours look rather straight for the " Twisted " challenge - however , they may be straight but each piece is made up of between two to five different coloured strands of wire . In the bottom left is part of the crank that is turned with the required number of pieces of wire and within seconds there is a twisted wire of varying colours ready for use in making jewellery , art pieces or whatever .
And for music while you twist --------
