Another video (and panorama) of the giant Ginkgo tree, Iwadono-kannon, Shohoji Temple at Higashimatsuyama, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Said to be 700 years old.
These Ginkgo trees grow at Cemetery Kranenburg (Hagenpark area) in Zwolle, the Netherlands. I took this photo last week when the sun was shining for a while on a rainy day. They are situated on the so-called Parnassusberg, an elevated vantage pointnamed afterthe GreekmountainParnassus, symbolfor the habitation of the Muses. It is composed of twoterraces surroundedby hedges.The circular shapeof the mountainsymbolizes theall-encompassing.
