Bonsai in nature - to admire but not to touch

Here is a photo of black pine bonsai on St. Peters curch on island of Brac in Croatia. Bonsai to admire but not to touch. If you have some similar pictures, share it!

Either way, I love it. I saw this image on your website, and it immediately reminded me of the Nick Lenz creation Candy Shirley acquired and posted in the gallery: http://pictures.bonsaitalk.com/show...&cat=500&page=1 Thank you for sharing this! pootsie __________________ p.s.

Do you know if that is 100% natural? or does someone tend to it? If not, it may be the way forward. I see it now, bonsai enthusiasts all over the world begin sowing seeds on the roof of their houses to make masterpieces!lol __________________ I can feel another "I wish that was my tree" moment coming on...

I really don'n know how it survived so long, on these rock slabs! __________________ Regards, Marija http://www.my-bonsai.com
