Treetops, photographed during a holiday in the South of France in 2010.
I visited there "La Bambouserie", a botanic garden in the Cevennes, South of France,
It has a forest of giant bamboo and a Japanese-inspired garden, based on the principles of Feng Shui.
Below some images of the garden. You can find it here: http://www.bambouseraie.com/en
In the shop I discovered the inspiring book "Écorces" (Bark) by Cédric Pollet.
"This work is the culmination of ten years of photography, in nearly twenty-five destinations, tracking down the most fascinating bark on the globe. From his numerous botanical expeditions, Cédric Pollet brings back unique shots where graphics and colors intermingle without limit".

She's the host this week for the weekly drawing challenge.

A wonderful compilation of this mighty tree tops - great photos!
If you look from afar to your patchwork picture, the trees cannot be realized at once... at the first glance I see the brown structures of the tribes in green. I love such nature-photos!

Dear Eric,
I feel really tiny looking at that (perspective of that) wood of bamboo (and even your 9 treetops). We are all nature, but humans are just a part of it.

Oh those trees! I love them all. Especially the ones I cannot go see in my neck of the woods (pardon the pun), like the giant bamboo. How wonderful will that be for Chloe when she sees it in Japan. :D
