A "park" composition

Your park composition is a reason why I would like a penjing et al. style subforum. There we can talk about fitting a bonsai to a setting and where to get or how to make complementary pieces such as statues, miniature things.
For example in Hòn non bộ all I have to say is I want a setting of “Ngư tiều canh mục” (a very ambitious setting depicting fisherman, lumberjack, farmer, and shepherd) then I know the bonsai species that fit each subset and the general setting that can depict all such as mountain side leading to a river, lake, or ocean. This tells me I will have a rather large set with multiple trees that should be kifu or smaller.

I don't have anything against these kinds of visual displays/designs with bonsai trees.
It's your tree, display it how you want.
I think it's cute

Fidur I always appreciate your compositions with the small figurines. They may not be the traditional bonsai format that one would put in a show but they are fun. They make you happy and that’s the whole point of the hobby!

Love it!
I'm a little surprised that you haven't requested to work with me creating some pieces for your scenes.
I like making these types of structure/figures...
@Crawforde has a chicken coop I made..
@Balbs has a "Four-Foot-shack" I did.
I have this bisqued pass-bridge that's waiting to go to @penumbra when he's feeling up to taking on some projects ORRR i bisque a larger, "scape"-style textured pot that I owe him through our trades..
(NEXT kiln load will have a garden bridge for Mwar15)
@TinyArt has a horse stable from RIGHT when I started getting good.. all other pieces are from
a little later on. It'd be sweet (and much appreciated) if some of them would share some pics.
Anyways, Fidur...
You have Ideas... I have Ideas and clay.
We both share a love of these compositions.
What are some of your ideas?
I'm stuck on US Colonial Schoolhouses, pumpwells, and grain silos at the moment...
Varying states of dilapidation...
What've you been thinking about lately?
(I'm also returning to "country huts" as well)

...Sudden kick to the brain, made me remember the tiny saikei horse that I bought as a kid (not knowing what it was), and put onto a driftwood "mountain." As of this moment, it becomes the backdrop for the stable and someday-trees!

Very nice. What time of year do you prune your pyracantha to facilitate the best flowering/fruiting?
Fidur
Chumono
Thanks Colorado. To be honest, I bought this tree last june as you see in the pic and it was already flowering, and it is flowering right now in some spots in the back of the tree.
So I have no real experience with facilitating the flowering of pyracantha.
As of today, it's been growing fast and healthy. All I have done so far is fertilze and prune the branches that get out of the shape.
BTW, it's a thornless variety, a relief for my hands.

I really love this. I am very inspired by park and city trees, and this is a great depiction of one. The tree itself seems to have come a long way in the past year!

Cool, I'm a fan of scenes/dioramas.
Its interesting to see something different, personalised, customised.
