Tree in Ruku, SubhanAllah

This is a recently discovered phenomenon in a forest near Sidney. As you can see, the bottom half of the tree trunk is bowed in such a way that it resembles a person in a posture of Islamic prayer - the 'Ruku'. Looking closer you can see the 'hands' resting on the knees. The most amazing thing is that the 'man' is directly facing the Holy Kaaba in Mecca, which is the direction that Muslims face when they are praying! 

"Have you not seen that unto Allah pays adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind, while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom Allah scorns, there is none to give him honor. Lo! Allah does what He will." (Surah al-Hajj 22:18)
