The tortured pines

As you walk along the paths, you may come across these strangely shaped pines, bent with an invisible weight and carrying a terrible burden. The wind, laden with sea spray, is the culprit of these deformations. These pines must have been subjected to the fury of the gusts of wind from the open sea for years. Some would say that it's a good thing: these improbable shapes often allow them to resist the harshest of storms!
