Cape Town, South Easter

The South Easter is a wind system that generally blows in summer but also in winter (The Black South Easter). Now here in Muizenberg the wind is strong and constant enough to mold the shape of trees, as you can see from above photograph.

A wind is called after the direction that the wind blows FROM, so that leads me to believe that this particular tree would be relatively accurate direction pointer.

Cheers

I am currently in awe of wind, to blow for an extended period of time in order to shape the way a tree grows is awesome.
