This gnarly old Japanese white pine (P. parviflora) is from a Japanese gallery that originally appeared in Bonsai Today issue 85. It looks a bit like something you might find on Point Lobos (more about that below). Artist unknown (to us, at least).
Somewhere on the Monterey Peninsula in search of sun and trees of distinction
Today a friend and I are going to visit Point Lobos. Hyperbole aside, it’s one of the most mind bendingly wildly beautiful places on this planet. I’ll keep you posted. Meanwhile, here are couple trees plus a taste of what’s in store for the day.
A piece of Point Lobos. Shooting landscapes is a bit like shooting bonsai. No matter what you do, the shot is never as powerful as the real thing. Still, this might give you some idea of the extreme natural beauty that exists here and there on this planet. The photo is borrowed from the web. With a little luck we’ll have some good ones of our own soon.
Juniperus rigida (Needle juniper, sometimes called Temple juniper). Also from Bonsai Today issue 85. Artist unknown.
