Default Weird and unusual tree shapes

I used to collect these annual publications from Indiana Department of Natural Resources' Division of Forestry but haven't for a few years, I think the guy driving it has since left, pleasantly surprised to find they are all downloadable for nix now

Hope some of you guys enjoy them as much as I do, also check out the great explainations at the back.

Cool photo of the twisted red wood. Im working on a walking stick with a cool twist in it. I fount it on my property last year and let it dry. its just a little somthing i do to keep me a little sane in the winter time while im enjoying that golden elixer This stick is maple and had a wild grape vine growing around it which made its shape.

I finally pulled over and got this sussed today. See the crack on the top of it in pic 4?

It obviously blew over long time ago, there's a slight mound of soil near the base but it powered on.

I wonder why it sort of got that flat look to it, usually they'd go egg shaped but that shape aint giving it better strength.

The flat spot/area may be due to some form of necrosis....what sort of tree is it Ekka?

My vote is Angophora leiocarpa (smooth barked apple) over a spotty gum, has that slight orange look but the leaves were to far up to see if they were opposites vs alternates.

But my instinct says smooth barked apple.

Now i'm not too sure what these 2 trees are up to, but i think this is where baby pine tree saplings come from.
