I would guess those curved trees were caused by wind.
That downview from the UAE tower gave me all sorts of vertigo.

I thought it was more likely to be a tsunami with some strength to disfigure the trees. Some very cool pics - the luxury island home, crescent shaped hotel and crazy lighthouse man were the best.
The last picture is about a 45 min drive from where I am. I drive across that runway at least once a month. It's quite bizarre, but for Gibraltar it totally makes sense.

I think the trees were tied to some curved object and forced to grow that way. You can tell they seem to be planted in rows, so man had something to do with it most likely.
I didn't believe the lighthouse pic was real until I found these videos:
