Pooktre Art
Peter Cook and Becky Northey of Queensland,
Australia have a hobby they
call "Pooktre Art."
They take living trees and train them to grow into fantastic shapes.
They live on a wild and beautiful 160-acre tree
farm, but their hobby can
be enjoyed -- on a smaller scale -- almost anywhere.
