The Olive Tree

Olive trees cover the hillsides. Stone walls form terraces which increase the amount of cultivatable land and prevents soil erosion.

The silvery leaves flash in the sun like the scales of a fish. Early spring and the olives have yet to begin to form on the branches.

The village mosque.An old stone home is surrounded by its fields. No manicured lawn restricts the spontaneous beauty of wild flowers, indigenous grass and olive trees.
