Olea europaea, variedad Farga.
La aceituna Farga es probablemente la más antigua de las que se cultivan en el mundo. También es uno de los más longevos, como se desprende de la comarca del Maestrat, ubicada en la unión de Aragón, Cataluña y la Comunitat Valenciana. En estas tierras, los olivos han sabido sobrevivir a las sucesivas civilizaciones a lo largo de los siglos, ofreciendo siempre aceites con cualidades únicas.
Los olivos están protegidos por Ley.
Olea europaea, Farga variety.
The Farga olive is probably the oldest of those cultivated in the world. It is also one of the longest-lived, as is made clear in the region of Maestrat, located at the joining of Aragon, Catalonia and the Valencia Region. In these lands, the olive trees have succeeded in surviving the successive civilizations over the centuries, always offering oils with unique qualities.
The olive trees are protected by Law.

Cwm Dysynni (the Dysynni Valley) is a dramatic and historic glaciated valley located in southern Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park, North Wales. It is renowned for its striking landscape, featuring the Afon Dysynni river, prehistoric sites, and the ruins of a medieval Welsh castle.
Castell y Bere: The ruins of a 13th-century royal castle built by Llywelyn the Great. It is one of the most important native Welsh castles, designed to protect the borders of Gwynedd.
Craig yr Aderyn (Bird Rock): A prominent 230-metre-high volcanic crag. It is famous for being the only inland nesting site in Wales for cormorants, offering panoramic views of the valley.
Cadair Idris: The valley is nestled under the southern slopes of this iconic mountain range, providing numerous hiking trails and access to the peak.
Talyllyn Railway: The world's first preserved railway runs through the nearby Fathew Valley, with stations accessible from the Dysynni area.
In the beginning of July, after a long day of shooting, I was driving home along quiet gravel roads. This area is known for moose, and I was secretly hoping to spot one on my way. While no moose appeared, I came across this solitary, large tree standing out in a remote, misty field around midnight. The atmosphere was incredibly calm, captured in muted tones of gray and green.
This image shows an avenue of mature Monterey Cypress trees (Cupressus macrocarpa) located at Plas Newydd House and Gardens on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.
Plas Newydd is a National Trust property situated on the north bank of the Menai Strait.
While native to the central coast of California, these Monterey Cypresses thrive in the damp, cool climate of Anglesey. They are noted for their massive, deeply textured trunks and architectural branches.
The avenue features a well-maintained path used by visitors for walks with views of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia.
Though sometimes colloquially referred to as cedars, these specific specimens are widely identified as Monterey Cypresses.
St Martin's Church, Martindale is located in the valley of Martindale in Cumbria, England, UK
It is often referred to as the "Old Church" to avoid confusion with the nearby St Peter's Church which is situated half a mile down the valley. The church is dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours. It is now only in occasional use. The church is a Grade II* listed building.
The date of the establishment of a place of worship on the site of St Martin's is unknown but it is mentioned in a de Lancaster Charter of 1220 and other references state that a chapel was already in existence at that date.
The present building was probably erected at the end of the 16th century, replacing the chapel, the last reference to which occurs in a document of 13 April 1541. In 1714 the church floor was flagged as the congregation were no longer prepared to endure the damp earth floor.
The tiny church bell which hangs in an open cote at the west end of the church is over 500 years old.
The churchyard contains an ancient Yew tree which is estimated to be 1300 years old, documents in the church state the men of Martindale, who were famous as bowmen, used the tree and others in the district to replenish their arms.
Old tree stumps at Thornham just hanging on despite all the weathering from the sea water that floods over the marshes. Part of Holme Dunes National Nature Reserve.
This is at Stone Mountain State Park. I just took a picture of this pine tree branch without thinking too much… Just having fun taking pictures!

Millenary olive trees on the road from La Salzadella to Tírig.
The region of Maestrat (Castelló/ Spain).
An ancient submerged forest is visible at certain times of the year at low tide along the stretch of shore at Borth. Pine, Oak, Birch and Willow stumps can be seen when the tide retreats up to 150 yards.The normally submerged forest has become associated with a 17th Century myth of a sunken civilization known as Cantre'r Gwaelod, or the Sunken Hundred.
According to the legend, the kingdom was lost at sea when Seithenyn, the guardian of sea defences, forgot to close the gates. In one version of the myth, the forest stretched 20 miles to the west of Cardigan Bay.
Within the historic grounds of Giza Zoo in Egypt, remarkable trees form intricate living structures of trunks, branches and hanging roots.
Some of the garden's valuable trees have stood here for generations, creating a remarkable connection between Egypt's natural heritage and the history of this much-loved place.
Here, nature has created an architecture of its own — ancient, intricate and still alive.

The Chopin Waltz Op. 64 No. 2 fits here well.
It's a grand old metaphor.
The tree is old and straggly.
I'm old and straggly.
The tree has lost it's foliage.
I've lost my foliage.
The tree is standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
I'm standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
The tree has a big branch pointing skyward.
I have.........
And so the poor metaphor endeth.
This is directly opposite the Frolicking Field, just outside The Middle of Nowhere, South Australia, Australia.
Sorry I haven't been round to visit everyone. I'm slowly getting there.

La comarca del Maestrat. La Salzadella (Castelló / Spain).
Northumberland is England’s northernmost county, and it sits right on the border with Scotland. It’s historical hot property, a land long fought over by kingdoms and invaders – evident in its many castles, citadels and the 2,000-year-old Hadrian’s Wall.
This cerris oak tree is more than a 100 years old. An old man from my village says that once there were two cerris oak trees, but only this survived.
Each time I go to my village I am trying different ways of capturing its beauty and magnificence.
