One use for pruned olive branches is as firewood. They smell nice and, when dry, burn very well and because the wood is so hard its good exercise to saw them up by hand. Since it takes more than a year for the wood to dry out enough to burn without excessive hissing so these logs are for next winter....
The ancient olivetrees at the ermita del Remei near Alcanar.
These trees are probably over 500 years old-the exact date is difficult to determine without core samples- and the trunks of the trees are so gnarled and twisted.
The olive trees swelter long after the fire is put out. This stump is still smoking and a danger to the whole region.
We went on a short hike (about 5 miles) to Mas de Barberans, our neighbortown. It was overcast which made it more pleasant to walk.
Along the way we passed beautiful drystone construction walls- the work and effort that wen into those retaining walls is incredible.
----------------------
Wir machten eine kurze Wanderung nach Mas de Barberans, unser Nachbardorf (etwa 7-8km).
Dem Weg entlang kamen wir an wunderschönen Trockenmauern vorbei. Die Arbeit und Sorgfalt die es brauchte um diese vielen Mauern zu bauen ist bewundernswert.
Es war leicht bewölkt, nicht so gut für Fotos, aber angenehm zum Wandern.
olive tree in Creete, Greece, estimated to be 3000 years old, still producing olives, today a natural monument
The Rivera received somewhere between 10 and 30 cm of snow yesterday and so today everywhere is an unusual colour - white. I'll be uploading more snowpocalypse photos but this one goes in the Olive Tree category instead.
The photo was taken at Notre Dame du Brusc in Chateauneuf where I've taken a number of other Olivetree blogging photos over the years
On our land we have an olive tree which our daughter Anna calls the lizard tree. In this tree lives a whole family of lizards. I have tied the clothes-line to this tree, and when I hang out the washing, she always keeps me company handing me the pegs and making up little stories about the lizard family. When she doesn't see them all, she tells me that mom has gone to the supermarket, dad has gone to work or that they are eating dinner.
She always picks some flowers and leaves them next to the tree so that the lizard family can use them to cook dinner.
on a recent visit to Fontcalda in the Terra Alta, I found this old olive grove with some amazing trees. the grove has not been worked for years- it is now a public picnic area along the Santiago trail.
I can only guess how old those trees are- 100 years, 150? They are beautiful.
For the second year we grow this Olive Tree in the open air, but as we live on the 57. degree north, I don't think we will have some fruits - but beautiful to look at and follow from day to day
Set - Fruit & flower shots from Greece. If my ID's are incorrect please do not hesitate to let me know - thank you.
a stand of old olive trees not far from where I live. These trees are spaced farther apart and have much wider crowns than usual. Some of the trees must be well over 200 years old.
There are probably about 600 trees in this grove.
We walked up the dry riverbed after the flashflood- it looks all peaceful now, but the water must have been raging. There is lots of damage in the olivegroves where the river took shortcuts and deposited rocks and gravel.
The river took a shortcut through the olive grove- there is about 2ft of rocks and gravel here and many olivetrees have bare roots...

Wir spazierten bachaufwärts nach der Sturzflut- es sieht ganz friedlich aus, aber das Wasser musste ziemlich wild gewesen sein. In den Olivenhainen gab es viel Schaden wo der Fluss Seitensprünge gemacht hat und Steine und Kies deponiert hat.
Der Fluss machte eine Abkürzung durch den Olivenhain, es hat hier über 50cm Steine und Kies und die Wurzeln vieler Olivenbäume sind ausgewaschen.

The flowers are open for business (and the car/ground is drenched in yellow dust aka olive pollen)

Fifteen centuries old olive tree, which was sadly uprooted from its natural environment and was transplanted in the center of Athens in 2015, after its expropriation for the construction of the new railway line in Korinthos - Patra section. The tree comes from Elaionas village in Aegialia's area.
Ελαιόδενδρο ηλικίας 1500 ετών, το οποίο δυστυχώς ξεριζώθηκε από το φυσικό του περιβάλλον και μεταφυτεύθηκε στο κέντρο της Αθήνας το 2015, κατόπιν απαλλοτριώσεως κατά την κατασκευή της νέας σιδηροδρομικής γραμμής στο τμήμα Κόρινθος - Πάτρα. Το δένδρο προέρχεται από το χωριό Ελαιώνας στην περιοχή της Αιγιαλείας.
