The first picture is the twisted trunk of a Quince Tree, this one was taken at Mosley Old Hall. I posted a close up of one of the buds here.
I am not sure what type of tree the second one is, but it was taken in one of the gardens at Belvoir Castle. I like the lines twisting round the trunk. The interesting thing about it though is that it is studded with coins, which I think you can just about see in the picture. I have no idea what the significance of that is!

That's interesting about the coins in the twists. Hmm I wonder why? Good Photos!!
Isn't nature just amazing?
And the coins stay put? Must get an honest class of visitor!
On the warhol, I think the top one is more warhol but I prefer the bottom one!
Wow - looks like it must be really old! Great shot!
Very interesting post! and what a beautiful garden!
Ancient One - I wonder why too...
Liz - Nature is amazing yes :-) I can't vouch for non of the coins going missing ;-) Thanks for your comment the Warhole Pic :-)
Thanks Tamy a Jenty :-)
Beautiful trees.. they look old. Great take on this week's theme.
What interesting trees! The first is leaning so far over it's amazing that a strong wind doesn't just topple it over. And the second. Coins?! Now that's a first!

Lovely trees! Maybe the second one is a wishing tree.
Thanks Everyone :-)
Dragonstar - It might be :-) I had never heard of one before, but I have been able to find some links on google! Very interesting.
Great choices! I love the branch on the second tree.
Lovely shots for the theme!
you have an awesome twisted tree too!
Two very interesting photos Cherrypie, there sure is a lean on that first one. I wonder if it will just topple one day.
I like your photos Cherie, the detail is so clear :-)
Wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant pics!
Old trees are so interesting. Most of the interesting photographs this week were of trees or plants.
Thanks everyone :-) I am not sure why it was leaning like that, there were several of them and they all seemed to be leaning in the same direction!
