re-styling of a Japanese red pine #2

A week later this tree arrived in my garden. Here the tree as it came.

re-styling of a Japanese red pine #1

These images were sent to me as a request whether I would be willing to re-style this Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora). It was acquired in Korea a couple of years ago and now sat around in Germany for a while. So it really is a Korean red pine. So far to nationalism in naming trees.
Sure I said yes and here is the story.

This is a test. I want to see how I can send images directly from my Picasa files to the blog. Wow, this works very well.

 

Brandnew gallery

I have worked for three months now to totally renovate my gallery. See this: http://walter-pall.de/00gallery/index.html

The well known link http://walter-pall.de works as well. So there is no need to change links or favorites.



Paul Stokes ( http://www.paulstokesdesign.com/ ) has helped me to get onto my feet. My son supported me to stay there. I filled 14,000 (fourteen thousand) files and loaded them, the gallery contains about 3,500 images. This is still only the beginning, it will be enhanced in the near future. I will now sort around 20,000 slides and have the useful ones digitalized professionally. Then the history of the trees will go back up to 25 years. From now on this gallery will live like my blog and will be updated as new images become available.

The software that I am using is Picasa and Highslide. Anyone can download them. Considerable adaptation was necessary, however.

The images were shot with Nikon D40, D70, D70s, Coolpix880. The recent images were all done with Nikon D40, which one can use professionally, even if it is marketed as beginner's camera.

Please report any technical problems here.

Enjoy

A unique tree which does not appeal to everybody.

All these are Chinese elm 'Hokkaido'. This is the variety wiht the smallest foliage. They are ideal for shohin, but quite difficult to get into a good looking bonsai.
