Olive Harvest

One of my Favourite Places: The Olive-Grove


There is just a little cabin, without running water and electricity and just a little fireplace...

So that's how its done! Think I'll plant some olives
then someone in 100 years can take photos like these.
An ancient activity and you have captured it so beautifully.
