Tipasa trees



This is not one of the trees, but I just liked the house on the sea, nothing around it, around 200 miles south of Palma de Mallorca.
 These carvings are on dead olive trees.  As I understand it, they were started in the late '80s, interrupted by the civil war in the '90s, and started again.


 And this is the artist who does the carving.




 Windswept pine above, and palm below.  There are lots and lots of dates for sale in the local markets, so I'm wondering what type of palm this is.
 From the hill where the Byzantine-era church is, looking out over the Roman ruins.  The last two pictures are of old olive trees, which become works of art in their own right.
