Amazing tree. Bold style, but I think it works. Looking forward to seeing this in a few years. :tu2:

For me the magic in this style is that the tree seems to be alive and almost constantly moving while it remains perfectly still. That is what amazes me about this tree. Can anyone else see this or should I just get some more sleep?

Thanks for posting

For what it's worth, I like the last picture as the front, just seems to open up a little more.
Really nice windswept, haunted tree for sure. Any photos of the back? :hooray:

Thanks Mate, Yes i do. This tree has the ability to be one of those rare trees that looks good from all angles. If i could i would do a 360 of it. What i have not shown is that the tree is completely hollow. :o

Mmm, certainly adds a new dimension. Just goes to show the detail a photograph can miss.

Thanks a lot for sharing :worship:

This tree just became even better, and I didn't think that was really possible (I mean aside from years of ramification and such). That is a stunning specimen. :worship:

G'day Bodhi..

Check this thread out here: viewtopic.php?f=112&t=936
Steven states in a couple of posts down to send a request and photo for 360 appraisal.

Surely this magnificent specimen will be worthy.

I absolutely love this tree.
Provides an eerie spooky vibe for me.

I agree Moj, leaves will spoil the image and i think heaps of ramification and display it naked. :tu:
Bodhi, I am looking forward to the day when the bonsai powers that be (or an ambitious individual) wises up and organises a winter bonsai show in this country.

Cheers,
Mojo

Wow, that is one amazing tree! Looks so spooky, I could picture it next to a haunted mansion or something :P
