Old olive trees.
Certains disent que les oliviers peuvent vivre plus de 1000 ans. C'est bien possible, après tout.
Some say that olive trees can live for more than 1000 years. It is well possible, after all.

"As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see"

Old and Wise
The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500.
The stone bridge was constructed on rubble foundations around 1500 and replaced earlier wooden/ timber bridges, including that on which the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought.
The bridge originally had arches at either end and a defensive gate at the end nearer the burgh. Tolls were levied on goods being taken across the bridge.
In December 1745 General Blakeney, lieutenant governor of Stirling⁹ Castle, had one of the bridge arches destroyed to hinder the movement of the Jacobite Army. The destroyed arch was rebuilt in 1749.
In May 1833 the adjacent new road bridge was opened to traffic and the Old Bridge was closed to wheeled traffic.
The bridge was designated as a Category A Listed Building in 1965.
The bridge today remains one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.

A local find on my visit out this afternoon for some foggy scenes.
I did find this several years back and it has collapsed quite a bit since.
Church of Our Lady of Kruvenica, situated nearby to Dr. Josip Avelini Park and the town fortress Španjola in Hvar :)
Hvar is a town and port on the island of Hvar. It has a long and distinguished history as center for trade and culture in the Adriatic. A commune, part of the Venetian Empire during the 13th to 18th centuries, it was an important naval base with a strong fortress above, encircling the town walls and protecting the port. Cultural life thrived as prosperity grew, and Hvar is the site of one of the oldest surviving theatres in Europe, opened in 1612. The seven-hundred-year-old walls still survive, as do many of the noble houses and public buildings from 15th – 17th centuries. Today, the town has a variety of hotels, galleries, museums, and exhibitions, including the Arsenal, Loggia, the Croatian Institute, and the Hvar Heritage Museum with its art and archaeological collections.
