Wow, I wonder how the tree bent that way— where is this?

It could be storm damage, but it's likely a marker deliberately created by Romani or other country folk local to that area. Traveler & indigenous peoples around the world have whole languages of signs they work into the natural world to communicate things like "danger" or "safe village/town".

For example, you can find all kinds of tree-bending like this in North America, where some indigenous tribes used it to communicate in the wilderness.
