Amazed to see a fig this early, but I might take a late night trip and start picking some, as they were low enough to take get to easily!!
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

Something a little different. I have a few bird shots from these locations.
We have two local tourist destinations with two huge old fig trees. Both have walk ways around them to keep people off the actual tree roots and understory plants.
Both trees are thought to be over 500 years old. In one of the photos i managed to get a person photo bombing but it still doesn't really give a true indication of actual size.
They are heritage listed so will be protected for as long as they can remain standing. There is so much information on these two trees i was not sure what to add. I will add both of their names so they can be found with ease via google.
First three photos are of the Curtain fig tree and the others are of the Cathedral fig tree.
These Fig Trees are of the strangler fig species (Ficus virens.) Normally these figs germinate on top of another tree and try to grow roots into the ground. Once this important step is accomplished, the fig will grow vigorously, finally kill the hosting tree and then grow on independently. In the case of curtain fig the hosting tree tilted towards the next one; the fig also grows around that one. Its curtain of aerial roots drops 15 metres (49 feet) to the ground.
Although these figs kill their hosts, they are an epiphyte which basically feeds from the ground, unlike a parasitic plant which feeds from the sap of the host plant/tree.

I managed to get an 10-7/8" circle traced out by compass on each half of the log. These will be some decent-sized bowls, and nearly the largest things I can fit on my 12" lathe.

Fifty days after Easter comes "Kataklysmos" - the Day of the Holy Ghost. In Cyprus it is celebrated by fairs held on the water fronts.
Kataklysmos is a water-based festival that takes place along the beachfront, on Saturday of the Pentecost and Whit Monday.
The date for Kataklysmos follows the Orthodox Calendar, falling each year on Sunday of the Pentecost and Monday of the Holy Spirit.
Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus. In ancient times, where Protaras is now located, stood the old city-state of Leukolla. The city possessed a small safe harbour where the Athenian Demetrius Poliorketes sought refuge in the year 306 BC, lying in wait for Ptolemeos, one of the successors of Alexander the Great.
