These pine trees are located in Cook Park, overlooking Botany Bay and Lady Robinsons Beach, in the southern suburb of Kyeemagh. The growth of these trees is affected by strong coastal winds.
This a lovely beach, and indeed these trees have been moved by many a stormy wind over the years. But are hearty enough to still be standing - and likely keeping the beach erosion in check.
So interesting to see how trees adapt to their environment. Where we have built our new house, there were many trees removed, and the remaining trees are pretty crooked. We are hoping that now that they have room, they will straighten up and fill out better.
What a view!

Looks like a good place to breath in fresh sea air. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteJM, IL-U.S.A,
Looks like a beautiful park!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely park to take in the view!
ReplyDeleteThese pines look as if they weather rather strong winds. Some of our peninsula trees and shrubs are quite eerie shapes thanks to the sea winds.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful trees and the white boat in the blue sky!
