Wow Walter, that's either a very small ski slope or an enormous pot!!!

All kidding aside, a very beautiful sight. What was the base of snow on the slopes, 7-8 feet?

Warmest regards,

John

There were these amazing Larches, trees which I love most, but I couldn´t get out of the lift. Sorry that I don´t have photo´s. These are very nice moments when thinking about future bonsais. Thanks for your photo and virt, Wessel

Driving through country lanes past some exquisite trees, some probably 300-400 years old, I envisage them shrunk and in a pot. I love looking at the gnarled twisted trunks and great sweeping arms of branches and twigs silhouetted against the morning sky. A lovely picture Walter and thanks for sharing. Regards, Aaron
