Thanks Trent - I was about to go to bed when I saw your post and it is now after midnight.
There is much more to that video than just perfection in Bonsai
Enjoy

Re: Works of Divinity
Thank you for the link to the first video Trent. Haven't watched your second link yet, but the first one is, to me, almost spirtual. It is so much more than a video about a tree - or indeed about 'trees', so much more indeed.
While I am far from anything even remotely resembling Religious, my teacher taught me there was a lot more to Bonsai than the ability to grow or style a tree into something that could be recognized as a 'Bonsai'. I believe that same teaching came through from Shinji Suzuki's philosophies while he styled his trees. I like to think I still follow my teachers advice through my day to day life. It is nice to be reminded, occasionally.
