Post by alpineart »

I snapped this whilst on a holiday on Long Island QLD . I assume its a Mangrove .I does look remarkably similar to the Phantoms Cave

Looks very interesting. How big is it. Was you thinking of collecting it? Thanks for sharing.

Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.

Nice piece of driftwood Alpine. Would look good with a Juniper snaking around it.

Hi Tman , i was a magic looking base , if i could carve something like this i would wrap a juni' into it for sure .It did inspire me to think of carving a similar hollow into a River Red Gum .Never know i may just find the time one day.Cheers Alpine
