An Octopus tree in Sri Lanka

I think I would give this tree the name "Octopus". It is quite amazing how far out the branches go in every direction. If you look closely at the ground it looks like the roots also snake out in every direction with a similar patturn to the branches. This tree is actually a Ficus Benjamina tree although it goes by the name "Giant Java Willow tree".

Snow "moss" on curly branches

This interesting winter scene caused by a fresh snowfall on the curly branches of a tree creates a delightful visual effect that seems to draw you into the picture and leave you mesmerized.
