If you ever encounter such sights, you might wonder: Am I dreaming or is it just a coincidence? Don’t be afraid; sometimes anthropomorphizing the world around us makes life more vibrant! Let’s admire the following unique trees to discover the fascinating wonders of our planet.
1. Mother Tree Giving Birth to Child
Typically, trees struck by lightning split in two like this, but perhaps the strong life force helped a young shoot rise up and grow within the embrace of the old tree.
2. Dragon Head Tree
How does the trunk resemble the head of a dragon bowing down? This tree is real and is located on a walking trail near Asheville, North Carolina, USA.
3. Goddess Root
It’s curious how the base of this tree has formed a structure resembling the face of a forest goddess, isn’t it?
4. “Father Holding Child” Tree
What do you think when you see this picture? It looks like a father holding a child, right? This special tree is located next to a road in Bükk National Park in northern Hungary. Many years ago, someone cut down the smaller tree. However, it survived thanks to the larger tree “holding” and nurturing it with its two “arms.” The larger tree has helped the smaller tree survive for many years. Every spring, their buds and leaves grow together. They endure the heat of the summer sun and rest together in winter.
5. Friendly Cactus
Oh, this “cowboy” cactus is greeting everyone passing through Arizona, USA!
6. “Octopus” Monster Tree
Everyone immediately thinks of an octopus or the Kraken from Greek mythology when they see this tree. In reality, it is a very old oak tree growing on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Its magnificent branches twist close to the ground, adorned with lush green vines, impressing anyone who admires it.
7. Spider Web Fig Tree
This bizarre “spider web tree” is believed to be a species of fig that grows in Nanning, China. It was once suspected to be a product of Photoshop, but photographers have verified its existence. The maze created by the intertwined roots and trunk surprises everyone.
8. “Angry God” Tree
This dry, twisted old oak tree is located on a quiet country road in Boxted, near Colchester, Essex, northern England. It looks like a furious volcano god with its outstretched arms.
9. Manifestation of Evil
Many people feel frightened when they see this photograph of a dry tree stump. Although it’s just a decayed tree that has died, it has a rather strange shape. Everyone associates it with the devil rising from the ground with its grotesque horns and pitch-black body. This is not Photoshop; it is known as the “Devil Tree” and is located in Canada.
10. “Running Away” Tree
The “Tree of Life” near Kalaloch Campground in Olympic National Park, Washington, USA. This is a Sitka spruce, also known as the “Kalaloch Tree” or “Running Away Tree” because its roots and branches hang precariously between two cliffs, appearing as if it is jumping across the chasm.
11. Lovers in the Wilderness
The famous “lovers” baobab couple in Madagascar. They must be very much in love to twist and curve like that!
12. Lonely Pine
In contrast to the loving couple above, this poor pine tree stands alone on a steep cliff. Its strong roots cling tightly to the rock, stretching out and standing tall against the sky.
13. “Mocking” Pine
While this is just an old pine stump with a hollowed-out corner, human imagination has anthropomorphized it into a smiling face.
14. Angry Peach Tree
In contrast to the humorous pine image above, this peach tree stump looks rather unhappy.
15. Sweet Kiss
Many people might feel heartbroken with jealousy upon seeing this image!
16. Whiny Boy Tree
It seems that the iron railing has hindered the trunk from growing, so it has been “bitten” by the bark. Someone has added two plastic eyes, creating a cute face in the park!
17. Tornado in the Deep Forest
This appears to be a type of vine with a rough bark. Its age is unknown, but it must be quite old, as its thick trunk is aged and tightly wrapped around its “neighbor” beside it.
18. Walking God
In the misty haze, this strange shape makes it easy to mistake it for a forest god walking!
19. Venus
From this angle looking up, the base of this tree has a truly unique shape, resembling Venus shining brightly.
20. The Hooked Forest
It looks like a scene from a horror movie, but this is a completely real forest located in Poland. No one knows why the trees are curiously bent at their bases. They resemble hundreds of gigantic hooks that someone has planted into the ground. Would you dare to be curious enough to explore this place?
