When you drive the 401 through Ontario, every once in a while you’ll see this unusual looking species of tree. I’ve always found them to be very striking against the horizon and have often thought, “I should stop and take a snap of those because they are interesting.”

But generally as I’ve passed by these trees, I’ve been riding with someone else and it’s not easy to say, “hey can we stop for a minute, I want to take a picture of a tree”. There is some weirdness that’s just better to keep to yourself. But on Friday I was headed to northern Ontario, I had my camera and I was by myself. So public display of weirdness not required, I was able to stop and take some pictures.

The sky was overcast and just about to snow (in April!), so I had great conditions to shoot in to highlight the silhouette of these cool trees.

If you happen to know what kind of tree this is, please comment because I’m curious.
