Trees are weird.

I mean, look at this treeline!

They’re only on the mountains!

Usually you see lots of trees down below and none on the mountains, but not here.

Admittedly, these are more on the foothill side of mountains, not exactly tall enough to have the upper treeline due to overly cold altitudes.

And perhaps there’s something odd about the water cycles in this area. Lots of it fall on the mountains, but little collects down below. Could be something to do with the particular soil, as well. Half a chance it’s human caused, could be cattle fields there that end at the hill, keeps saplings from growing.

But still, dense trees on the hills, fading away once you hit the wide plains? Totally weird.
