My Mistake. In the original post for the photo contest I labeled this partial tree Southern birch. Should be Southern beech (or Mountain beech?). Here’s what Richard Warner (it’s his photo) said about it: “Don’t know if this is really art but the framing came out nice. A photo of a Mountain Beech on the Routburn Track near Millford Sound ‘Lord of the Rings’ Country in New Zealand. Branch looks a little like a Dragon. (Southern Beech not Birch as the photo title incorrectly says).” I imagine those are beeches covering the hillside also.
Reminder
This photo is the inspiration for our current $100 Bonsai Photo Art Contest. Where’s your entry?
