Twisted tree

I came across this interesting tree when I went out for lunch today. It's in a small shopping compound at the intersection of Grape and El Camino Real in Sunnyvale; right across from Fresh Choice restaurant.




The branches were twisting, twirling and coming out unlike any tree I had seen before



The branch on the right sticks out almost perpendicularly off the tree trunk and extends beyond of the picture frame. With the thickness and weight for this kind of branch, it's amazing how it hangs in mid air without any support.
