Another gnarled olive tree. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Wie alt mag dieser Olivenbaum wohl sein. Vielleicht 1000 Jahre ? :)

What a great old Olive tree...

Yes it does make your brain have a work out!!!! LOL

Ingrid,
Udo,
Jenny,
Very many thanks!
This was a park only since the 1980s and the old olive trees were specially bought in. I think it must be a big business as there are many new parks around which have old trees in them, only a few being in their original location.

mooi andy

wonderful Andy this olive tree!

Fred,
Annemarie,
Thank you both!

I love these old olive trees - especially those with a heart, like this one - okay so you have to use a bit of imagination. Great image Andy!

I think with a lot of my pics, one needs oodles of imagination, Maggie!
Thank you!

What a beautiful and long suffering olive tree. But, it still lives... and it seem, well!

There are about 100 in this park and they all seem degenerate but thriving at the same time (at least they all produce a lot of fruit which no one farms!)

Etonnant, ce doit être un olivier centenaire...

Probably much more than that but it didn't grow here for most of its life. It would have been transplanted in the 1980s probably from further south in Spain. As I say, ornamental old olive trees are big business, especially with councils creating. or re-fashioning old, parks.

Un très bel olivier bien capté !
Bon dimanche. Amitiés

Many thanks, Madeleine!

Tellement fabuleux cette résistance au temps, il est juste superbe, merci d'avoir partagé un tel trésor Andy, bon dimanche.

Many thanks, Jocelyne!

Nice. And War! I still have the LP in the attic...

Great find; must be a very old one !!

Great old tree. Love that rhythm too.

Lovely tree and a fine shot of it Andy.

All the best, Doug

I love a gnarled tree Andy. This is a beauty!!
Have a good weekend.

Such a wonderful old olive tree............I don't really see the heart, I'm afraid...........but I do see the beauty! A smashing shot Ancy.

Love the somewhat random musical link too!

What's that about a heart, Keith?
Ah, yes ... just translated Güni's comment! I must confess that it never occured to me at the time but now I see that he does have a point!
I know the music's a bit 'off topic' but I had just listeded to an American's reaction to House of the Rising Son and he said he couldn't believe that Eric Burdon's voice was from a white man! He should also listen to Joe Cocker at his best perhaps!

Superbe !!!

Ann,
Rosa,
Keith,
