Hallein

Some time ago I have been invited to the 3rd International bonsai and kusamono exhibition which was held this past weekend in Hallein, near Salzburg, Austria. The exhibition was once again located in an abandoned salt storage on an island on the Salzach river. There were over 100 bonsai exhibitted, meny kusamomo and suiseki to be seen and lots of trader stands with various items to choose from.

Pred nekaj časa sem bil povabljen na 3. Mednarodno razstavo bonsajev in kusamonov, ki je potekala minuli vikend v manjšem mestecu Hallein, blizu Salzburga v Avstriji. Razstava se je ponovno nahajala v slikovitem opuščenem skladišču soli, sredi otoka na reki Salzach. Tam je bilo mogoče videti preko 100 razstavljenih bonsajev, ter mnogo suisekijev in kusamonov oz. spremljevalnih rastlin. Tudi ponudba prodajalcev je bila večja kot kdajkoli.

I decided to bring 5 trees with me this time. My big 'Itoigawa' juniper, my Cornus mas, an Euonymous verrucosa and my shohin white pine and 'Chojubai' together in a composition.

Tokrat sem s seboj pripeljal 5 dreves. Moj veliki 'Itoigawa' brin, rumeni dren, bradavičasto trdolesko, ter shohin beli bor in japonsko marelico, katera sem razstavil v skupni kompoziciji.

My friend Jože, with whom I visited the exhibition, was exhibitting for the first time. He chose a Fagus sylvatica which he has for more then 5 years and on which we have been working on for more then 3 years now. It was exhibitted without any wire.

Great job!

Prijatelj Jože, s katerim sva skupaj odpotovala v Hallein, je tokrat tudi prvič razstavljal. Prinesel je bukev, katero ima že dobrih 5 let in na kateri skupaj delava že dobra 3 leta. Razstavljena je bila povsem neožičena.

Odlično opravljeno delo!

This sure is an exhibition to which I will gladly return.

To je prav zagotovo razstava katere se bom z veseljem ponovno udeležil.
