In Nice we also found the most beautiful olive grove, with the old old trees standing silent and impressive.
The Olive tree is one of the most beloved, sacred trees and its place is firmly rooted in Ancient Greek tradition and mythology.
Traditionally, the Olive tree is a symbol of peace and friendship, this association began in ancient Greece, as early as the fifth century.
We constantly hope for peace in this world. During this silent walk, some rays of sun hit a friend (a palm tree?) in one of the trunks in quite a spectacular way – and it felt almost like a sign. May peace come to us all – soon.

I can really sense the peace of this olive grove just by looking at your photos, the trees are so old and so beautiful
I am glad you feel it too, Sarah, thank you!
What beautiful, impressive trees. Your photos definitely give a sense of the peace you must have felt walking there. I wish we could spread peace around the world.
Thank you – I wish that we all at least try! Each in His/Her own way. Little things can grow bigger and spread a good message.
Yes, indeed!
I wholeheartedly embrace your desire for peace, A-C. And looking at your lovely photos, I also felt the urge to embrace an olive tree too. They are extraordinary trees, and olive groves do seem to radiate a deep sense of peacefulness.
I am so glad you liked the olive trees and their message – I feel I have to go out and embrace mine too. It is only 8 years old…but still! An olive.
Oh, yes. Do give it hug 🙂
Done♥
Truly magnificent old trees
Wisdom and beauty.
Gorgeous photos! I love Olive trees and we have many where we live which are harvested annually
All appears calm
It was.
Ah, perfect peace indeed.

The olives look so lacy – I’ve only seen an olive tree here or there, never a whole grove together. Wonderful!
Thank you…I felt so alive there, and that they wanted to tell me something.
Walking under an old olive grove like the one that exists in Lima that is more than 400 years old, one feels absorbed by the serenity, wisdom and peace of these patient trees.
Yes, you describe it well, the feeling.
What beautiful trees. It would be so much fun spending time among them with a camera. You took some beautiful photos that seemed to capture their personalities so well.
Thank you, Pat, and yes, there is an aura of dignity and wisdom …and a feeling that they know what you are thinking and how you look upon them.
The light in that last photo, highlighting the Palm is beautiful. Magnificent old trees
Thank you, I was rather taken by that light…♥
I love the bark and trunks.
♥ Thank you!
Lovely photos A-C. And yes, peace. We live in a very troubled world.
And try to find joy and laughter amongst it all…
