Almost Human Trees

     I have seen photos of trees that have remarkable shapes that resemble human forms.  I have searched the Internet for more information on them but have had no luck.  Guess they could be photoshopped, but maybe not.

      Here's a couple of them.

 

Crooked Forest of Poland

     In the northwestern corner of Poland, not far from Szczecin,  a forest of about 400 pine trees grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks, before rising vertically again, and they all bent northward. Surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees this collection is known as the Crooked Forest.  

     Planted around 1930, the trees managed to grow for seven to 10 years before getting held down, in what is believed to have been done by humans, possibly by carpenters wanting to use the wood for furniture making, but this is not known to be true.
