Photographer's Note
One of the postcards of the region, the Laziness Tree is one of the few that resist to the wind and to the heat of Preá Beach, near Jericoacoara. Due to the strong winds, the tree doesn't have enough strength to stand up.

Ciao Alexandre
questo albero è impressionante, qui la natura ha lavorato per anni prima di raggiungere questo risultato.
Una vera lotta tra le forze naturali e l'istinto di sopravvivenza. Magnifico.
Saluti

Hello Alexandre,
Indeed, a tree with a very strange shape whereby it looks like the branches have become roots.
The wind must be very strong on that beach.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Alexandre,
Interesting view of this tree, I would rather call it heroic than lazy. I remember similar trees from Patagonia.
Beautiful composition about the power of nature.
Kind regrad s Malgo

Bonjour, cher Alexandre,
La nature est étonnante, car voir cet arbuste poussé dans le sable et prendre une posture de la sorte relève de l'enchantement ou du mystère.
Très belle réalisation.
Amitiés.

Ola Alexandre,
Ocean winds are stronger than the roots of the tree, probably, and the soft soil of the dune not in great help to this poor tree.
But, it made a special sight for a picture, notably how the sand accumulated undr the laid canopy. Nicely spotted.
Bom dia,
Ike

Hello Alexandre,
It is amazing to realize this is actually a tree and not a large bush. It is equally amazing that it has survived long enough to become a "celebrity". We need no further proof of the strong winds in this area. It's an eye-catching and somewhat amusing photo with beautiful colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Alexandre,
A really nice photo of this tree and its very special shape. The winds must be very strong here to create this result. You captured the tree and the beach on a fine, sunny day.

Hello Alexandre,
It is indeed an unusual tree.
I don't think I've ever seen one like this before so it is interesting.
You clearly reveal how it stretches along the sand, its trunk at the left and its whole shape lying, as if sunbathing, on the sand.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Alexandre,
That is sort of extreme example of a windswept tree. Very crooked, grown on tough condition. Quite fascinating, but I also would like to see a bit more of the background.

Bonjour Alexandre,
J'aime beaucoup le titre de cette composition. Beau cadrage serré sur l'arbre qui nous offre avec force détails sa position dans la vie. Le ciel est très beau en arrière plan.
Amicalement

esta árvore me lembra umas famosas que existem numa ilha das antilhas. lembro também de outros lugares que visitei onde as árvores são deitadass pela constância dos ventos. aqui ele é tão insistente que até podemos pensar que se trata de uma moita de arbustos. bacana a foto.

Hi Alexandre,
fascinating sight! The tree seems to be resting the upper part on the beach.
Extraordinary view and also captured at great light resulting in well saturated colors.
Clouds add a dynamic touch to the scene as well.
Very well done,
M

Hello Alexandre
We do have a lot of lonely conifers in the dunes nearby the city I life pointing to the northeast by the ruling southwest winds but they are certainly not bending over so far that the top is resting on the ground. It gives anyway a fascinating scene.
Beautiful work
Have a good Sunday, Groet Rob

Ciao Alexandre
Lol at the amusing title. Obviously the wind here is quite strong at times and bordering on desert like condition with the hot sand in the dunes. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hola Alexandre.
Una soberbia composicion, con esa rareza de arbol, que ya no puede tener mayor inclinacion, curioso su crecimiento horizontal, seguramente por efecto del viento.
Un bonito color, en estos tonos tan naturales.
También tanto la nitidez, como la iluminación están genial.
Muy buen POV. Me gusta
Disfruta de un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Ola Aleandre I saw only one of those bent trees in Florida, but never as lazy as this one that has to hold up on a sand mound. What a trendy hairdo! Thanks for showing. Abraços.

Lembro dessa árvore, tenho uma foto dessas também. E parece que após alguns anos, continua preguiçosa. Muito bom trabalho!
