Lovely pot Peter!

Looks like those crabs are going to be doing some pruning of their own

Btw, the color of this pot works VERY well with the trunk and foliage of the tree.

Very nice,
Rob A.

Hi Rob,
thanks for the nice compliment.

Every two years the members of the largest German Bonsai Forum meet at a summer festival.
This year was held the summer festival in Lippstadt.
It was a beautifully weekend with many discussions about Bonsai.
Here are some picture moments from the show:

Peter,
This looks like such a great outing for bonsai!

Beautiful location, trees, pots and people.

Wish I was there!


Thanks for sharing,
Rob

Hi Rob,
It would have been nice if you had been there.

Peter

Hi Peter

Wonderful pictures. Looks like you had a great time at the show. I have fond memories of Lippstadt when I was in Germany for 3 years, many moons ago when I was in the British Army.

Thanks for showing the pictures

Kind regards

Andy

That looks like such a nice setting for a show and get-together!
Nice pots too!!

and....

Andy was in the British Army?????

D.

I love all those pots spread across that table! Looks like a great day there.

Dale

Yes I was, straight out of school and in the Army. Did me the world of good. I spent 3 years out in Germany, amongst other locations, and loved the country, just wish I was into Bonsai Pottery then and I could have gone and visited Peter back in '88

Regards

Andy

Hi Dale,
Yes, that was a nice weekend, bonsai, bonsai, bonsai,
pots, pots, pots, football, beer and beautiful women.

Peter

Hi Antonio,
thanks for the nice compliment.

Peter

Hi Andy,
I did not know that you were three years in Germany.
Lippstadt is not so far away from me, about 200 Km
If you are that next time in Germany, then you come visit me.

regards
Peter

Now all major exhibitions for me this year are over.
The pottery is calling me, everywhere are dried pots.



First, however, the kiln can be re-made, then it goes off.

And this is beautiful:
After a long day of make pots, take a bag with bread, cheese and several bottles of red wine.
Then you go with friends in nature, and watch as the sun goes down.
This is a good time.










Best Regards
Peter

The next time I am in Germany I will definatley come and visit you When I was in Germany I was stationed near Paderborn but travelled a fair bit throught the West Falen area. I learnt some German whilst I was there but only remember some of it now Seeing the wonderful German scenery in your photos brings back wondeful memories

Hello Peter

This was a far to short meeting at the BFF-summerfestival in Lippstadt. While we were only able to be there on sunday ...the time was short and a lot of old friends and "bonsaibuddies" had a chat with us.
We have only taken a short ....but never the less intense and inspective ....look at your pots. Our chat was quiet short but we promise to do better next time!

Kind regards
Klaudia & Martin
