This old olive tree belongs once to my Grand-Father and before him to his Grand -Father etc etc...Probably is some hundred years old. And old lady still giving her fruits every year as usual .
I love old trees, if they could only talk what a history they would have to share with us!! How great that it has been with the family for that length of time and still producing fruit, incredible. Thank you, Jackie.
A grand old lady indeed. The old trees of whichever species seem to be hardier than the younger ones. I remember reading somewhere of an olive tree in Greece that was around 1600 years old. Melbourne Daily Photo
Great motive! But imho a little bit overdone in postprocessing! Looks more like a painting than a photo with the DRI/HDR techniques applied. Is it due to global warming? Are there no more cool shadows in Greece? Where have all the shadows gone....? ;-)
