I spent an enjoyable day down in Swindon yesterday.......yes you can have an enjoyable day in Swindon......it's the day they have the Swindon Winter Image bonsai exhibition !
Here are a few pictures of stands I've made, (in use at the exhibition), and a few other pictures of Ashfield Bonsai Club trees on display and other trees/accents that I liked.
I'm sorry about the poor quality of some of the pictures, the sodium lighting at the venue is a pig and editing the pictures doesn't help much either.
John Armitage's chojubai on a low cherry root stand
John Armitage's ligustrum (I think) on a burr elm ji ita
John Armitage's painfully awesome itoigawa juniper on a mahogany root stand
My chojubai on an American black walnut root stand

I'm glad I finally got to see these items used together and get a picture
