Has anyone ever

zen

"Lay your keel" ? LOL
I think some great ideas can be expressed through visual cues that can also be described as "young". To this end, I have trees in styling that, will hopefully express a delicate and youthfull exuberance. I also have trees that will hopefully evoke feelings of great determination and strength. Some trees even express the feeling of just barely hanging on to life by a miniscule thread, although I don'tany trees with that much shari, saba-miki, or jin, yet.
Thanks for sharing these photos of these magnificent trees of grandure. Maybe someone has some images of beautiful trees that are still in their youth.

This is a Ficus rubiganosa ( port Jackson fig ) of a mere 150 years. It stands outside the first Royal Perth Hospital. It has been placed on the national heritage list. I am not sure of its dimentions but it does spread across the road which is 30 meters. I hope this a suitable tree for this thread.
