Beautiful Tree

My Grandmother was an artist and I loved when she would give me art lessons.  She loved old buildings and crooked trees.  She said they were far more interesting than the perfect ones.  Now I can’t help but look for crooked trees and old buildings.  lol.  Anyways, this tree is some sort of a pine tree.  It died from the Pine Beetle.  Alberta has been having a horrible time with them.  It is sad that it killed this tree but the flip side is that it exposed the beautifully interesting branches!
