Here is a twisted dead tree on Coffintop Mountain in the foothills of Boulder County, Colorado. There are many speculations on why trees spiral like this when they grow. Such trees tend to be found in harsh environments. This picture was taken on April 10, 2017.

Equipment used: Canon EOS Rebel T5i with a standard zoom lens (EF-S 18-55 mm).
