A ginkgo tree in autumn

The tree's leaves have created the illusion of a golden carpet at the Zen Buddhist Temple in Luohandong village, China

Right now Graham's favourite tree, a towering ancient ginkgo is donning its autumn robes! Located within the walls of the Gu Guanyin Buddhist Temple in the Zhongnan Mountains in China, this tree has captured the world's attention. Planted for Emperor Li Shimin, Tang Dynasty, ruling from 629 to 649.

What do you think of these breathtaking photos? Did you know that the ginkgo is also known as the maidenhair tree (due to shape of its leaf)? Photos were released on the People’s Daily Online.

...imagine if this tree could talk--the stories it could tell...;)
