On facebook Nicola Crivelli and others show spectacular photographs. But you have to be registered there to see them.

Thanks the for pics Walter, its the first EBA that I have missed for a few years now and it loos like its my loss. It was due to the restrictions etc of getting trees into and out of the country, plant passports and the like.Well done to everyone who made the effort and added to what looks like an incredible show. Im looking forward to Germany next year.
Well done to Ivo for best in show
Regards Chris

Stunning stuff and thanks for the link with pictures. Oh how one can only try to come close to such skilled and master craftsman.

Many thanks, Walter! Excellent trees! Very moody display! Very timely as we are thinking about making the first bonsai exhibition in Moscow.

Wow beautiful show and you're right Walter a wonderful setting for the display. I love it.

PS I just made it home from the national US exhibition but we weren't allowed to take photos. Shucks.

Thank you Walter. I too felt your naturalistic styling influence on some trees(ie,birch) The museum presentation really does raise the bar to a different standard for shows in the next decade. Was impressed by mood/feeling variations evoked. Some trees feeling of isolation, tranquility;others like one on 'buther block'type stand with abstract accent seemed to express excitement/energy. So so nice to let everyone be able to photograph/view and pass along the beauty of exhibit. It may open a door to an artist not so sure about bonsai exhibitions. Dustin

I really liked the venue and the white display platforms. The trees were great and some really nice shohin displays too. Great lighting too! Thanks for the effort to display here!

Fantastic trees, and display.
I don’t want to be silly but couldn’t help thinking that this lady must have felt at home with her hair the same colour as the welcoming display.

Thank you for the great pictures.

thanks for the post. the choice of venue, lighting, the manner in which the trees were displayed and the quality of the bonsai confirms the notion that european bonsai has come a long way in a short time, setting the standard for bonsai in the west.

Your really not joking. It seems it moving into mainstream and there are also a lot of enthusiasts.

Beautiful trees, display/site and pots.
Thanks Walter,
