Windswept Tree in Newcastle, NI

Not the most fabulous of images, but I was amazed by the shape of this tree on the main beach boulevard in Newcastle, NI. I believe it's an Elm. It created a great shelter from the sun on Thursday. I wonder which direction the prevailing wind comes from?!!!

Fascinating! I've never seen a tree bend that drastically from sea wind. Good catch!!!

A bit windblown since planting, I'd say. Interesting to see how big it is.
