Wind-swept tree in Mercantour
I discovered this unique group of trees near the village of Vars, in the Mercantour National Park. Deformed by the violent winds that frequently sweep down the grassy slopes, they seemed frozen in place. The soft twilight light revealed the subtle curves of the hills in the background which reminded me of the vast steppes of Central Asia. Their resilience against the elements makes them symbols of perseverance, perfectly integrated into this landscape.
