Is this who I think it is?
The Peach Orchard - Tilted
Of course, when you tilt the photo, the trees are now straight (sort of)!

Probably not. It's the Terry's Texas Rangers monument on the capitol grounds in Austin And unlike James, I did NOT lie on the ground to take it. Ecch.
Wow. I'm amazed it's NOT who I thought it was.
The Peach Orchard is the strangest orchard I've ever seen, all those trees bent in the same NE direction. I continue to wonder what how that happened. Storms don't usually act that uniformly when they bend trees. It's almost like some vandal went thru and bent them when they were young, and instead of dying they just kept growing that way.
One of the times I was out there this summer, I was with a retired science teacher, and even he couldn't figure it out. It might have something to do with the grafting, perhaps? Although the vandals idea might be just as valid. Maybe it's the spirits of the men who were killed there on July 2--or maybe Dan Sickles had something to do with it. He was pretty crooked, too!
