Things That Look Like Trees That Aren’t Trees

“Nature abhors a vacuum,” so we’re told. Nature also abhors a mess; it likes order and patterns.

It likes things to match, it likes things to be symmetrical, and it likes things to resemble trees.

What follows is a bunch of things that look like trees that aren’t actually trees. I couldn’t tell you exactly why I find this so pleasing, but I do.
