This story isn't bonsai, but it is about trees which we love. Call it an obituary for a great giant which was standing before my ancestors came to this country. It should lie in rest where it has fallen for generations to marvel and mourn. It stood for centuries in life. Let it lie for centuries in death. A form of immortality. Rest in peace great giant of the Earth.

In watching the video link supplied, I suppose that answers the age old question - "If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound." Yep!

i think the tree should lay and a set of steps should go up and over for the walkers
