I have posted a shot before (Photographers Assistant) of a wedge shaped tree from Warbstow Bury, which is somewhere I take the dog for a walk at least three or four times a week. In the comments someone mentioned that the tree looked like it was being blown by the wind. Up here, and in many of the exposed locations of Cornwall on the hills and clifftops, the trees end up being permanently this shape, reflecting the losing battle of constantly being thwarted against growing naturally upright by the prevailing winds.
This is one of the rare occasions when a blank blue sky was actually helpful in a black and white landscape photograph by letting the subject stand out.
Lovely. It reminds me of windswept shores.

I’ve seen similar hedges along Ditchling Beacon, near where I live. Scrawny and windswept, all leaning in the same direction.

Wonderful photo, as always. I like how you set the scene to show the tree following the contour of the hillside.

Thank you Lisa. The hillside is one of the ancient earthworks that form one of the three separate rings of defensive ‘walls’ of the Bury.
Here’s a link for anyone interested in reading more about it. https://heritagecalling.com/2014/05/23/warbstow-bury-re-writing-the-story-of-a-cornish-hillfort/
