Supported Trees

Still in the grounds of the tea house, I found these trees nearly toppled into the lake. Of any of the lakes & waterways in Australia that  have see, these trees would definitely been no more. But here in Japan I have seen a lot of trees supported with bamboo. There are tree quite large supports here, helping to hold the trees in place. I wonder how many little children want to climb out on them and swing there legs out over the water?

The path in the garden continued around the lake to the left, and if we look closely we can just see another bridge in the center of the photo.
