Apulian flora is dominated by olive trees. Millions and millions cover the ground. Flying into Bari or Brindisi, one can see the characteristic landscape dotted with olive trees from above and into the distant horizon.
I have photographed many old olive trees and some individuals may have been around for millenia. Weather and age have carved beautiful structures in their bark through the centuries.
In addition I have tried to capture the "living soul" of the olive trees - moving their greenish grey and silvery leaves in the wind, quite vivid and lively despite their slow growth and stately age. Here are some long exposures capturing the movement of the silvery leaves in the wind.
I spent a happy afternoon shooting experimental "nonsense" - but that's what vacations are for :)!
Approaching Bari - olives to the horizon (and a limestone quarry)
