what beautiful textures. How old is the tree, if you can guess?
:iconambersunset:
I don't know how old it is, but it's the thickest olive tree I've ever seen... And I've seen lots of them!
I found this amazing tree in a grove next to the old Bet Jamal monastery, and just couldn't stop looking at it and taking pictures.
Olives are beautiful trees... I love their distorted trunks, they look as if they were there for ages and suffered because of all the disasters around them.

Your knack is to take fotos of the natural but presented so well and so naturally and with such a good eye that they look really appealing! Great tree :sun:

I would say it's between 1000 and 1500 years old.
I have pictures and I have seen olive trees that are at least 2000 years old which are quite a bit thicker than this... but this is an excellent shot nonetheless! :)
Great job Capturing it :)

Amazing, only our giant redwoods live to that kind of age....
