I thought why not sharing with you? i think they are unique and i thought you might like them... Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 I don't know how those trees are called in english but in Greece we call them Platania. I think the english word is maple... The first 2 photos are taken in a village called Tsagarada in Pelio. This particular maple is among the oldest in Europe (1200 years old) and it's perimeter is 40 meters. The branches are like big trees. The other two photos are taken in a city called Arta. According to the local legends under this maple shade, Ali Pasha of Ioannina, oversaw the hanging of those would dare to raise against his power. Kisses Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
