The circus trees:
Never has a California tourist trap
been more influential on someone’s
future. While touring Santa Cruz,
California’s aptly-named “Mystery
Spot” with his family, Swedish
American Axel Erlandson decided
that he wanted to be the forbearer
of a similar establishment. But
instead of relying on curious
gravitational and magnetic pulls,
Erlandson took to shaping trees in
bizarre, other-worldly patterns. His
idea was a hit; Ripley’s Believe It Or
Not made a visit to the far-out forest
in 1976.
