LOOKING IN THE SQUARE

Windswept tree.

A windswept tree clinging to a hill near Wainui Beach at Raglan, North Island, New Zealand.

The westerly wind would be the prevailing wind here blowing straight off the Tasman Sea, with little or no protection from the land or other structures, natural or otherwise for this tree. It's variety is not known to me but it looks very much like a Manuka, a native tree of our country.
