Sky forest

"The sky forest appeared to be composed of only one sort of tree, long-needled pines. Most of the trees I could see had fantastically curved and twisted trunks and branches, with many forks and snaking ramifications... The sky forest was more like a school of fish than any terrestrial boskage. The trees were for the most part well spaced out, a few yards between each and its neighbour. Light filtered down between them as well as through their branches. I could see scattered clumps where two or three trees were enmeshed together at branch or root, though whether because they had always grown that way or because of some windstorm entangling them I couldn’t tell."
