Noelanders Trophy 2012 - part II

After the long drive home the head is a bit more organized but still it is hard to process all the impressions form the Noelanders Trophy exhibition. All this great trees, all demos and the discussions with my colleagues about bonsai made this weekend unforgettable.

Of course it’s fair to show the awarded trees first.

I think there are no additional words needed to describe this exhibition, next to the photos of the trees maybe only this two photos complete the story.
