We frequently walk under this old railway bridge, following the ancient cart track that once served the quarries and mines but now serves as a quiet trail. The railway line is now a flat and easy walkway. The bridge is Victorian engineering, probably built around 1850/60.
Trying to brighten the day for those people isolated indoors during the Covid-19 pandemic.

An ancient olive tree on Samos, one of the Greek islands. Taken in September 2016.
If you get pleasure from this, please share it, so others can enjoy it, too. Thank you.
Greece, as you probably know, Noelle, is a major producer of olive oil. It’s great that there are many places where you can just wander among their trees. Such friendly people.
Regarding the olive tree on Samos – What is that flesh colored item at its base? If I had a gruesome sense of humor I’d say it was a disembodied female foot in a dark shoe.

Lovely walk and words, Stuart!

Ho Ho Ho, Tom. I could tell a porky and say it’s exactly what you imagined. But, prosaically, it’s just part of a terracotta roof tile!
