Crying out for water


This twisted and contorted tree is beautiful in its own right. When the lava poured into this Lava Cast Forest, it burned the trees so quickly, that it left hollow impressions in the lava, "casts" of where the trees once stood. This tree is much like the others in this strange forest, it was petrified as the water was "squeezed" and twisted out. Lava Butte Vicinity, Oregon.
