Short, low-branching bald cypress example in nature

[Biscuit's Trees]

Don't know if photos of full-sized non-bonsai, non-potted trees is okay - if not, please let me know.
I see lots of bald cypress bonsai with the taller trunks and branches sort of localized to the upper parts of the trees. I like
those and saw them while I was growing up in Louisiana. Here's a photo of one that was struck by lightning years ago and branched below
the spot where the trunk split off and broke. Just thought it looked neat. I may try one like it in a group with the taller ones at some point.

The upper part of the trunk is covered in dead vines so it hides the split trunk, unfortunately.

One goal of bonsai (stick in pot) is to emulate , in miniature, what we may see in nature. I love seeing large, funky ,old trees to use as inspiration.
