Post by alpineart »

This too was another happy snap from Beechworth .It could represent a windswept tree

, a slanting style or a literati ,

with a little bit of fine tuning .Human intervention here for sure as it had an overhead power-line .The base was 600mm plus .Cheers Alpineart

About the right size for an Oak to be convincing as bonsai.
