Amazing Olive trees of Puglia! The sheer number of trees is amazing, but so, in many cases, are their size and age. Called ulivi secolari (literally centuries-old olive trees), you come across large numbers of ancient trees with knotted, gnarled, robust trunks that have been twisted into grotesque shapes by a mix of time, wind, sun and man’s hand. They give an impression of wizened sagacity, seen-it-all tiredness and a patient acceptance of the immutability of time.#pugloa#olivetrees#oliveoil#ulivisecolari#wisdom#nature#travel#divinalux#wellness# (at Lungomare Santa Maria di Leuca)
