The roots of a mangrove tree have spread out around the base of the tree and the trunk has been shaped by exposure to the natural harsh elements.

I visited a local wetland recently to catch a few bird photos & while I was wandering around I snapped images of mangroves growing along the waterway. Mangroves persistently amaze me with their beauty and form.
