In ancient times, where Protaras is now located, stood the old city-state of Leukolla.

A handheld panorama of the big Fig Tree in Arusha National Park, Tanzania. It started as two Strangler Fig Trees that grew on other trees and strangled them in the fight for light. It is a wonderful tree and a great entrance to the fantastic hike up Mount Meru (4565m).
This is Miss Cecily's Photo taken with an iPhone 5 - She said:
"The New Leaves on the fig trees are sprouting. The color and fierce natural light make me want to take a picture. Not quite catching what I see yet."

Located on Calle Amargura, it was erected between the 15th and 16th centuries. This building has Gothic and Renaissance elements.
Its main façade follows the typology of most Cáceres palaces, with granite masonry highlighting the semi-circular arched doorway, large voussoirs reaching to the ground , a large image of Carvajal’s coat of arms framed in an alfiz, and a corner balcony under a pointed arch.
Inside the house, there is a rectangular cloister with arcades on columns.
Its twelfth-century round tower made of rough ashlars also stands out. At its base you will find the palace chapel, decorated with some interesting frescoes.
Recommendations: You must visit the garden, with a spectacular fig tree--a clear example of the interior green spaces that can be found today in these buildings in the Historic Centre.

Fig Tree Bay is a sandy beach in the resort of Protaras, Cyprus. The sandy beach stretches for 500m and the waters are clean enough for the beach to have been awarded blue flag designation. The beach, which runs the length of its own cove, takes its name from the fig trees located close to the coast

I am back folks. The guilty must be punished...
There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free.
If you want to be reminded of the love of the Lord, just watch the sunrise.
The secret to a good morning is to watch the sunrise with an open heart.
Be the morning in everyone's eyes and make their day turn into a thing of beauty.
Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus.
Protaras, the tourist area, extends along the eastern coast of Paralimni and stretches for 10km from the district of 'Kapparis' to the location of 'Konnos'.
Protaras is Ayia Napa's laid-back neighbor.
Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Basin of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and the world's 80th largest island by area.
but enter at your own peril: steep and slippery-sides, over 3-metres deep, submerged branches, and critters aplenty! The fig-tree atop the rock on the right has a garland wrapped around it's trunk to appease the spirits of the land (according to local animistic belief). Some say the pool-spirit's face is cast in the facing moss-covered rock (left of centre)...
Nah, I just made that last bit up, but the rock does appear to have a face with a lopsided mouth.
Photo taken in an Illawarra Flame Tree at Figtree Pocket, Brisbane, Queensland. A little bit of colour for Christmas.
Frost bite hit the big tree in early spring and it completely lost all the burgeoning fig crop. For a long time I didn't think it would try again. But it did! Every creature in the area will enjoy some of these. Even some lucky humans, if they're quick. :-)
Black figs, I think. They have a very strong flavor.
Wiki: The Malabar grey hornbill (Ocyceros griseus) is a hornbill endemic to the Western Ghats and associated hills of southern India. They have a large beak but lack the casque that is prominent in some other hornbill species. They are found mainly in dense forest. They move around in small groups, feeding on figs and other forest fruits. Their loud cackling and laughing call makes them familiar to people living in the region.
After getting up at stupid o'clock to look for Yellow Rosellas, I got back to the motel and there it was. I need a longer lens, it's a very large figtree. 😄 Narandera, NSW
Shooting into the sun at Figtree Creek. Technically pretty lousy, but there's something about the effect I like.

Our tree lady finally got a crew out yesterday and took care of all our trees blown down by Hurricane Irma. We can actually see the fig tree now. :-) We decided to leave the tree as is and let the garden lady decide what to do with it. It's still alive and green.
We also got our damaged gutters replaced yesterday. Excellent day!
Fig tree bay . At the southern end of the Protaras main beach, Fig Tree Bay is very popular. It has a small sand island just off the coast, which is great for snorkelling with lots of fish to be seen.
By a chance opportunity in 2011, I came to Brazil from China. When I had just arrived, my eyes were overflowing with fresh and new experiences, curiosity, and I had a beautiful feeling about the future. But after a short time, this fresh and new feeling was quickly replaced by the loneliness and pain of finding myself in a far-off foreign land. Every day I went back home all alone, ate by myself, looking at the walls around me every day without anyone even to talk to, and I felt especially lonely in my heart, often crying all alone. When I felt the most pain and helpless, the Lord Jesus brought me into a gathering by means of a friend. Through reading the word of the Lord, singing hymns, and praying in gatherings, my lonely heart received the consolation of the Lord. I learned from the Bible that the heavens and earth and all things were created by God, and man too is God’s creation. The Lord Jesus was crucified for the redemption of mankind, and it was the Lord Jesus who redeemed us from sin, and He is the only Redeemer of mankind. In the face of the Lord’s salvation, which is greater than all else, I felt deeply moved and resolved to follow the Lord for the rest of my life. Because of this I was baptized on Thanksgiving to become a Christian not just in name but in reality. Because I liked singing songs, especially those in praise of God , after I was baptized I took the initiative to join the choir and work as part of it. Through God’s guidance and blessings, I lived in peace and happiness. Every time I went to a gathering or praised God in worship, I felt suffused with energy.

then, i went to the “Fangorn Forest” ^o^ remember that forest with huge branches of trees in The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers? hahahah… ^o^, it was the exactly feeling i’d when walking through the paths of the sacred monkey forest sanctuary in ubud. ancient beyond guessing, this forest is sacred for the balinese and for many years no one has been permitted to chop wood there. the forest is home to three temples, dating from around the 14th century. the largest is the Pura Dalem Agung, located on the highest point of the forest. A path through the trunks of huge nutmeg and banyan*figs* trees and across a small creek leads to the Holy Bathing Temple. and, yeah… the great trailing beards of banyan trees hung from them, swayed when blown by the breeze, it was an exceptional vision. >_< well, although i’m not a fan of typical flash shot, here *R1C1 Wireless Speedlight System* i wanted to add some extras on the hanging banyan roots and get the inattentive tourist in the same frame.

Better view at… / Um close melhor no... Original Size
na floresta… ^o^ à procura de Treebeard...♫
então, fui para a "Floresta de Fangorn" ^o^ lembra-se da floresta com as árvores de imensos galhos em O Senhor dos Anéis, As Duas Torres? hahahah… ^o^, foi exatamente o sentimento que eu tive ao caminhar pelas sendas da floresta do macaco sagrado em ubud. antigo além da adivinhação, esta floresta é sagrada para o balinese e durante muitos anos ninguém é permitido cortar madeira por lá. a floresta abriga três templos, datando ao redor do século 14. o maior deles é o Pura Dalem Agung, localizado no ponto mais alto da floresta. por um caminho acobertado por enormes troncos de árvores de noz-moscada e banyan *figueira* e através de um pequeno riacho chega-se ao Sagrado Templo do Banho. e, sim… as grandes barbas rastejantes das árvores de banyan*figueiras* dependuradas balançavam qdo sopradas pela brisa, foi uma visão excepcional. >_< bom, embora eu não seja fã de fotos de flash típico, aqui *R1C1 Wireless Speedlight System* eu quis somar alguns extras nas raízes suspensas da figueira *banyan e tbm incluir o turista distraído no mesmo enquadramento.
