**Curvy Aspen Trees: Shaped by Avalanches**
In some mountain regions, you'll find aspen trees with curved trunks—a striking visual caused by avalanches. When young aspens are hit by snow slides, they bend rather than break, growing horizontally under the snow's force. Once the snow melts, the trees curve back upwards toward the sunlight, creating their characteristic S-shapes.
These curvy trunks are living records of past avalanches, reflecting the power and frequency of these events. More than just unique shapes, they symbolize resilience—trees that bend with the challenge yet continue growing toward the light.
"Curvy Ladies" is an art piece that celebrates this natural phenomenon in all its beauty. This image was also taken during the fall season, when the aspens in Western Colorado all turn yellow at he same time. It's quite a spectacle in itself!
