The trees in my dreams invited me to search for them. I found this dream -like tree in Sycamore Canyon, Big Sur, California. Here ocean winds abuse and sculpt these trees into unique and abstract patterns. And the high humidity of coastal conditions provide frequent mists and fog which then drifts inland.
Almost like a ghost suddenly appearing through the mist this curvilinear , flowing tracery of lines appeared as I was hiking back along Sycamore Canyon Creek after photographing surf patterns on nearby Pfeiffer Beach.The contorted growth habits of this coniferous evergreen tree are reminiscent of trees shaped by prevailing winds found high along alpine timberlines.
