Well, I don't feel like I have sinned now. Even a P nigra growing on St. Peters church has a little die-back. Great pics all!

How do you know the name of the church?

Celtis australis

I find it interesting that nearly every time someone posts "inspirational trees" you see dead wood in the deciduous ones, but more times than not in Bonsai culture deciduous dead wood is frowned upon. Just my opinion.

Took these a few weeks ago This tree is Massive!

Close up of trunk and nebari

All I know abou the tree is it is at a old school house that was built in the earily 1800's that has been renovated in to a home.

That is because in most broad-leafed trees, deadwood is not very long lasting. It has a tendency to rot, & in a bonsai, may kill the tree. There are a few exceptions. In olive, buttonwood, Japanese flowering apricot (Prunus mume), and tamarisk, the deadwood is used in bonsai styling.

This small Oak looks very old and is completely hollow.

Hi Smithy,

Your picture of India reminded me of my home. I live very close to those shops and still remember that tree coming out from the wall.
when were you there?

Regds,

I was enjoying this thread and wanted to throw a few out there that I have photographed over the years. The first is a tree down the street from my house that, every time I drive by it, I think "man that is a perfect tree". I can't think f what it is even though I made a note of it at some point.


These are some trees I shot in an ice storm last year some time:

Out for a walk in subzero Snowdonia on Monday, I spotted this lonely Oak in the lee of a Roche Moutonne.

Beautiful picture Kev. I really wish there was scenery on my doorstep like that.

Thanks Will.

I've just put a lot more scenic shots on Flickr here http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevbailey/

A few trees just down the road from me.

Hi all friends!

Nature is perfect.

Here is a spruce that grows near my home.

Found on the way to the ski lift in Bavaria, Germany.
European oak, Quercus robur and linden, Tilia platiphyllos.

This big beech sits on the top of a very cold and windy hill.
