This unusual pine is on my property. Why I never saw it before, and how it got this way is one of the many mysteries of Mother Nature and Big Sur. That’s why I am here.
And here is a closer look.

There is a Monterey Pine just like yours along 17 Mile Drive in PB.
I always figured that somebody trained it like that when it was a seedling.
The loop, being near the base would support that guess.
Like a crested saguaro, rare and a treat to spot.
What a beautiful image......love it
very cool Kate!!
Isn't that a "loop pine"?
I'll have to look that one up, Bob
Great pun, Bob! :D
