(1) Le défilé des berges de la Beaume. The parade of the banks of the Beaume. (2) Sur des galets et le sable du lit de la rivière La Beaume. On pebbles and sand of the bed of the La Beaume river. (3) Le pistachier térébinthe, est bien sûr de la famille des pistachiers. Ces amandes grillées fort prisées comme friandises d'apéritif... Mais cet arbuste là ne vaut que pour les couleurs pourpres de ses petits fruits qui commencent à mûrir à la fin du mois de juillet. The terebinth pistachio tree is of course from the pistachio family. These roasted almonds are very popular as aperitif treats... But this shrub is only worth it for the purple colors of its small fruits which begin to ripen at the end of July. (4) La Beaume, affluent de l'Ardèche. The Beaume, a tributary of the Ardèche.     

Forgotten tree of İstanbul.

A Day in  وادي #البطم# (Wadi Terebinth Tree) and Azraq Wetland with Jordan Bird Watch. Really fantastic day and my first time trying to concentrate on just bird #photography. I ended up turning a lot of them into #black and #white which I'll post next ;)

So who's eating TSITSIRAVLA in 2022?? See more on my courses at jointheflow.net ...discover my books at bit.ly/elefteria ...and read more about that. The shoots of the tree are used as a vegetable (called tsitsíravla), and are eaten as a pickle.  The fruits are used in Cyprus for baking of a specialty village bread. In Crete, where the plant is called tsikoudia, it is used to flavor the local variety of pomace brandy, also called tsikoudia.  The plant is rich in tannins and resinous substances and was used for its aromatic and medicinal properties in classical Greece. A mild sweet scented gum can be produced from the bark, and galls often found on the plant are used for tanning leather. A triterpene has been extracted from these galls. In Turkey, it is known as menengiç or bıttım. A coffee-like beverage, Kurdish coffee or menengiç kahvesi, is made from the roasted fruit, and a soap is made from the oil.  Terebinth resin was used as a wine preservative in the entire ancient Near East, as proven by many findings in areas such as the foot of the Zagros Mountains.
