Description
This image was taken on Vancouver Island near Comox. I am not certain if this set of trees is a “True Krummholz Forest” but it certainly is a “Crooked Wood Forest”...
From Wikipedia...Krummholz (German: krumm, "crooked, bent, twisted" and Holz, "wood") — also called knieholz ("knee timber") — is a type of stunted, deformed vegetation encountered in the subarctic and subalpine tree line landscapes, shaped by continual exposure to fierce, freezing winds. Under these conditions, trees can only survive where they are sheltered by rock formations or snow cover. As the lower portion of these trees continues to grow, the coverage becomes extremely dense near the ground.[1] In Newfoundland and Labrador, the formation is known as tuckamore.[2][3][4] Krummholz trees are also found on beaches such as the Oregon coast, where trees can become much taller than their subalpine cousins.

Interesting work, the curves in those trunks mirror the twisted grass so well.

Hi William... Thank you very much for your lovely comment and your compliment on my image. Yes, the grass seems to follow the flow of the twisted trees quite nicely... Cheers Bob
