  1. 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 :)

  4. 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.

    Happy Sunday, dear lady!

  6. 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.

    The huts are adorable with their decorated roofs!

  13. Jimmy, that tree is proving to be very popular, I imagine it has been photographed hundreds of times .... smiles.

    Herman, I don't know. I've heard the Banyan is a huge tree so maybe it is.
