Bonsai, a relaxing hobby but requiring much attention.

I have always been attracted to the art of Bonsai since I was a child. When I was a teenager I was quite busy with black and white photography and made many pictures of old trees in the English countryside.

But it's only since a couple of years ago that I am really working with Bonsai. I believe it has a peaceful effect on me. Also I find it quite fascinating to be able to keep fully grown trees - of which some are over a 100 years old - and maintain them in a small size.

Nevertheless it needs to be said that a bonsai collection also needs a lot of attention.
