OK : it was built at the time where there was an air-force base nearby. Lots of American soldiers far from home. It was a bar with nice young ladies ready to share some good time with the "yankees" as many called them, even if they were from Dixieland.

It was probably too difficult to built it the shape of a plane...

It closed when the Americans left in 1967 and became a private house.

It's a pity it's (almost ?) impossible to train as a bonsai.

Rhus typhina (Staghorn sumac, in French "Sumac de Virginie", Virginia sumac) displays such beautiful colours. I have a dissected one, maybe 'Tiger Eyes'. The leaflets are like multicoloured feathers.

Of course, it produces a lot of suckers around, sometimes 20 feet from the tree : I think I will take one and put it in a pot, to try and make at least a kind of "niwaki" :



PS : I remember seeing one years ago on a website. I think it was part of an exhibit at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.. A kind of "literati' on a red and white roadwork cone, maybe some of you see what I mean...

More auxin flows on the underside of a horizontal branch than the top



and on the sides

Perhaps you are referring to the one at the Pacific Bonsai Museum in Washington state (just south of Seattle).

Yes, it must be the one.

I love the last rays of winter sun on the top of my big larch :

Went to try and sort things out in the basement. Hard job...

Found this cut-out I made when I was 20, long before I became interested in bonsai :



PS : I had forgotten about the bird

I need to find one of these to dig up.

My three new pick ups from the junk pile. Two Gumpos and a Mugo.

Goodbye blue skies! Four more months of these color patterns.

How come there is no water droplets floating in the air?

I think because of the mask mandate that should prevent aerosols.

What? That's just the half way point @Carol 83 and at HIGH altitude for us.

This was with my wife old phone, but if you look real close, the stairs stop at the top of the falls or across from the top flat rock
just left of centre.
Here's a look at my wife's legs after we got back down. Never minding walking an uphill grade for what seemed to be 3/4 a mile
from the parking lot. Hey it was all downhill from there aye? She still has RLS.

LOL done that at home many a time, but that banister sure hurts when you hit.
Yes it looked tempting but I say a teenager get sick and bout passed out there.
He had to lay down right in the path near the top.
