Dry waterfall mountain
Having just been out west and not being able to resist a walk in a creek bed somewhere I cam across this, it was covered in mud so I had no idea of the colours but could see the textures even under the mud, anyhoooo a quick wash and voila!

Re: Dry waterfall mountain
I really like that. It looks really heavy though. What are you thinking to do with it?
Cheers

Re: Dry waterfall mountain
Thanks AW, and Kirky, maybe not as big and heavy as you might expect. Not at home to go and weigh it but would not be more than 3 or 4 kg's, possibly to heavy for a pot?? But my intentions were never for that anyway.
As to what to do with it, mate, it will simply be "viewed", one day when I have heaps of time I will start doing daiza's (?) for the rocks that I have.

Re: Dry waterfall mountain
Greetings , someone suggested for new rocks that you use a deep container, plastic washing up bowl, full of fine dry sand. This allows you to hide the uneven base and change the angle to get the balance correct before major work is committed to a diza or cutting the base. It was also suggested that when you get the position you like it is left in a prominent place so a critical eye sees if often. It is good to get family and friends to inspect it as they will give you honest answers, unlike rock and bonsai tragics. Remember you can never have too many rocks or pots. Happy bonsai, Bruce
