These are some photographs and a drawing of some slanting and windblown trees. The first is of a drawing by Deborah Koreschoff from the book Bonsai, its art, science, history and philosophy. This a drawing mind you. Deborah could have drawn this sketch in many ways. She could have drawn this with the most beautiful smooth tensile roots in the world. She has not. She has elected to show this tree in the way that nature would most likely grow it, with compression roots.
Remember I am not disputing Will's claim of which is more artistic, just not losing my objectivity that trees grow this way in nature, and sometimes we have to except what nature dishes out when looking at life objectivily.
