Maybe a really big stick of incense?

I agree...some kind of poles. :thumb:

Mt. Huangsha Tour

I went to Mt. Huangsha (Yellow Mountain) in company tour. It is famouse by its strange pines, stone, cloudy sea and warm spring.

The first pic is the No. 1 pine in Mt. Huangshan. Its name is Welcoming Guest Pine because it looks like hands to welcome guests.
The second is Seeing-Off Pine.

Harp Pine
Comity Pine. It has many big and small trunks.

Very nice! The trees are like bonsai without pots!

Billy 06-08-2005 10:59 AM
Wolf, you are totally right. The pots are the stones. All the pins have lived in the stones more than 1,000 years old.

do they prune the trees like bonsai trees are pruned (trimmed?) They have very unusual shapes.

Welcome back Billy, we've missed you!

The "Seeing Off" pine is my favorite. :thumbsup:

xoxoxoBruce 06-08-2005 10:36 PM
I agree......seeing off.
But the Comity (committee?) pine intrigues me.
Nice pictures Billy, thanks. :biggrin:

Without checking a dictionary, I think Comity means friendship or community togetherness?

wolf 06-09-2005 12:34 AM
Social Harmony.

For some reason I'm reminded of that episode of The Prisoner where Number 6 is declared unmutual.

No one pruned them. The shapes were made by the large wind on the high mountain. The wind would cut the small upwind trunks. So they are what they are now.
I think it should be community togetherness

Do you mean upwind branches? :)
