Halloween 2007

Discuss this gallery >>

Another year has quietly folded into the past, bringing forth into the light another Halloween Gallery to remind us that stranger, darker things lurk upon the backbenches of our gardens. These often out of sight bonsai of the shadows are perhaps waiting for the day when the weird, the scary, the warped will revolt together against the common realities and fight for a place on the front benches of the unwary.

Last year's Halloween Gallery introduced us to bonsai not often seen or appreciated before. It is our hope that this year's gallery will do the same and perhaps even spark a creative fire in all who view it. Maybe these photographs of darker inspiration will help some to shake off the shackles of the expected, the bonds of tradition and let imagination guide their creativity, even if the path leads into the realm of the otherworldly.

We wish to express our sincerest thanks to all of you who contributed to this gallery and to Walter Pall and our friends at bonsai-fachforum.de, without supporters such as you, there could be no us.
