Crazy Contortions

Along Erie’s winding roads, the trees don’t just grow—they writhe. Limbs hacked and bent by human hands twist themselves around humming electric lines, forming grotesque silhouettes that leer at passing cars. These arboreal oddities stand as eerie monuments to our obsession with wires and wattage, their contorted shapes whispering of a habitat reshaped for convenience rather than care. In their crooked figures, you’ll glimpse both the resilience of nature and the unsettling shadows of what happens when technology takes precedence over the living world that sustains us.
