The gnarled trees of Patagonia are a case study in survival and resilience. They withstand all sorts of treacherous weather conditions including high winds that can go north of 100 miles-hr. This particular tree was perched high on a cliff and was under 10 ft. in height. Autumn colors were at their peak at this time.

That tree could probably tell a thousand stories. Patagonia really is the wilderness at it's best. I love the twists and turns of the weather beaten wood. You've captured great detail in this photo. Excellent work.
