Does anyone see an old man here?

Awesome tree - man.
How big is this one?
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I really like the movement at the base of the low directional branch, and the Jin that flows down it from the trunk. Great tree Mike, I was working on one this evening very similar! Although nowhere near as good haha.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

I do love this tree Mike... as you know, but that photo - man - it does not do it justice. I might have to bring my camera around..!
