Fairy Trees

In Ireland, trees like this are called Fairy Trees. It is illegal to cut them down - the running legend is that there was one on the property used to build the DeLorean factory. They cut down the tree to build the factory. Two years later the company declared bankruptcy. Never cut down a Fairy tree, friends! :-)
Frankly, if I were a fairy, this is precisely the kind of tree I'd choose for home - gnarled, curvy, limbs with moss cushions growing up them and cushy little dells in which to hide from big nasty humans. Very charming and homelike. Good choice Tinker Bell!
