Not too long ago I came across this image of this amazingly wild, rugged, wonderful old tree somewhere on the internet. Unfortunately, I neglected to label it the instant I grabbed it (always a mistake). Now, I don’t remember where I found it and I’d like to know so I can attribute it to the person who took the trouble to find it, photograph it, and post it.
So here’s the contest. The first person who posts (in comments, see link above) the name of the person who took the photo and where it is on the internet, wins a $25.00 gift certificate to Stone Lantern’s web store.
I believe that was posted on the old IBC website (no longer available) by Boon Manakitivipart. An updated picture is at http://www.Bonsaiboon.com.
Best regards,

Though not the same picture, it looks to be the same tree. Here it is on Boon’s site:

And I’m willing to bet this is the same tree, again.

I would guess your photo was probably taken by Boon, a BIB member, or an Intensive student.
It’s from Bonsai Empire impressions gallery…

I just checked and Vinicius Costa has nailed it.
However, Kestutis Gailius nailed it a day earlier.
Juan and John were both correct about the tree (the picture with Boon http://www.bonsaiboon.com/ leaves no doubt), but no cigar.
So, the winner is Kestutis with Vinicius close behind, but a day late.
Thank you all!
I’m moving way too fast.
It turns out (after review) that what I said above was “The first person who posts the name of the person who took the photo and where it is on the internet, wins a $25.00 gift certificate to Stone Lantern’s web store.” What I didn’t imagine was that one person would post the name of the person who took the photo and another would post the location of the photo on the internet. But that’s what happened.
So, as of this moment, we don’t actually have a winner.
My apologies for the confusion!!!
