Beautiful collection, Valerie! Each is a unique scenery, especially the last one with the deep blu sky :) Reminds me of nipa huts beside the beach. Have a blessed weekend :)
what a cool tree there in the second one...i am surprised no one is climbing it...ha...and the houses in that last with the symbols on the roofs....very interesting...
Lea, The houses are known as trulli houses made of dry stone. They were constructed as temporary field shelters and storehouses but are now permanent dwellings.
Brian, maybe the climbers were round the other side of the tree ...smiles.
Pearl, it was quite lovely wandering through a village full of these houses, with tiny lanes threading through.
Hi Ron. Yes, isn't that tree fabulous? I can just imagine the uproar if ever the decision was made to cut it down. It must be hundreds of years old. Happy Sunday.
If you're new to A Mixed Bag you might find something to interest you, a bit of mirth, a story or two, or some pictures. I'm so pleased you popped in, do leave a comment if you have time.

ReplyDeleteOh wow...... What an awesome tree! Makes ya wonder how long that ones been hanging around--and oh the stories it could tell.
ReplyDeleteThe huts are adorable with their decorated roofs!
Yes it was the tree that took my fancy too.
ReplyDeleteThe second one with the tree is stunning,
ReplyDeleteGill
I love the tree also, they are all great but the tree reaches out to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! Is that a banyan tree in the second snap?
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting tree in that second shot! Lovely photos, Val. I rather enjoy seeing all the places you post about.
ReplyDeleteJimmy, that tree is proving to be very popular, I imagine it has been photographed hundreds of times .... smiles.
ReplyDeleteHerman, I don't know. I've heard the Banyan is a huge tree so maybe it is.
