Pics not visible
 
It looks like bald-cypress (Taxodium distichum). It has needles that are ranked and alternate from one another. Bark is grayish to reddish. Shape of trunks in your pics is typical for baldys. If you see "knees " is a dead give-way for bald-cypress. A great tree.
Dawn redwood has bark that is redder, can become deeply fluted as it matures, and ranked needles are opposite of one another.​
