might look like a complete idiot here...
but i dont understand what your pointing out here...

if the pic was rotated to where the tree was growing vertical, then the incline isn't near as steep as the pic first suggests...

yeah, I couldn't believe how much steeper that ledge at RML was when I actually got there...

oh yeah, see it now.
Although not all trees grow exactly vertical.

Trees dont always grow EXACTLY vertical. As in, if you were to place a level on them, the bubble wouldnt line up. They DO grow vertical though. All plants can sense gravity (gravitropism) and will always realign themselves to grow up. This will cause stem elongation and change the shape.
I think what I am saying is best defined by picture 2. Picture number 1 just looks cool

in this case...I'd say people generally stand more vertical than a tree grows...

Sorry debunk the notion that all trees grow exactly perpendicular (you'd know better if you'd been wheeling in the past 4 years ), BUT... I was there and most likely took the picture. If anything, the angle (at the waterfall on Welder) is steeper than the pic shows!

Ah, so the truth comes out.
it wasn't photoshopped - just likely the camera was held sideways
