RE: This nature's cathedral (original poetry & photos)
Had to upvote. I was looking for photos of trees growing through rocks like this. These are gorgeous.

Thanks a lot @creativetruth! You're welcome to use them if you want. It's also a spot I go to a lot near me so I could go sometime and grab specific types of shots if you could describe what you're looking for.
You are too kind @d-pend. This month I have been researching ideas for the bonsai landscape scene I am going to make. Most of the rocks I'll be using look like basalt, similar to those in your photos. Anything that shows young and old trees growing up through the rocks or along hills is a helpful reference. I need to try to recreate nature, by making a believable scene. It is good for me to study how the rocks interlock and and angle through the earth to make an interesting landscape, and to see where the trees grow.

In a couple weeks I'll be building with the materials I collected by adding clay-mud and small bonsai trees.
So cool! That gives me a good idea of what you're looking for (and also an excuse to go for some hiking/bouldering in one of my favorite places.) I'll drop you a comment once I do it. The reason why I'd go back is I only took a couple of shots for this post to show my direct surroundings while I wrote.
