Those Devil's trees are really photogenic in their own way in winter. They seem to be ideal for capturing the main elements of trees in the street.
They are called "Teufelsbaum", pronounced "Toifelsbaum" in German. It means "Devil's tree". And because its branches look like roots, the story goes that the Devil wanted the tree to change its faith to God, the tree didn't do that, and then the Devil was so angry that he pulled it out of the earth and put it into the earth again feet over head.
If I remember right I did that for some other photo of these trees in the the past, but since it is a bit long ago, I think I'll paste that story in the about box of this one too.

I have many photos whith those trees especially in wintertime, when they have no leaves. The branches look like abstract sculptures then. You might want to look at http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1268913 , or http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1266341 to see what I mean.
Well, sometimes the Devil seems to cooperate unintentionally with some photographers that intentionally look for subjects to capture. ;-)
