I'm not sure. They might be Cypress trees. There are several different types. The Monterey Cypresses we see in CA near the coasts usually are tall and straight with few side branches, but instead a large flat canopy at the top. If there are branches, they also will have a large flat canopy at their ends. Where the winds are incessant, the trees are shorter and very bent over or asymmetrical, but they will still have the flat canopy shape at the tops of their trunk and branches.
The tall one and the short one in the center foreground are perhaps cypress, but the others are pines or fir.
Here is a picture from Google of a vulture roost in cypress trees in a swamp in Florida. See the long branchless trunks, and the canopy at the tops.
