plane tree

Tsagarada, Thessaly, Greece

a dendrophile's delight, the adventurous might visit Greece to see this 1,000 year old plane tree, reckoned as the oldest one in Greece, and one of the oldest in Europe...the Pelion (Pilio) peninsula is covered in forests of plane trees and chestnuts such as the bloomer on the left

a bonus attraction is the Lost Unicorn Hotel and Restaurant, found here in Paraskevi Square, and the nearby sandy beach at Mylopotamos

A 1000 years old! No wonder it needs a hand with one of its branches!!

What a wonderful place to sit in the shade and contemplate.

That is incredible. The stories it must be a part of is mind boggling. I like how it is being supported. V

That's a magnificent tree! Must have been a treat to see this in person. Mind boggling to think about all the history it has it has seen.

Such a venerable tree ! It shelters the men of the Mediterranean heat for so many years that it deserves a better support than this brick "pillar"

1,000 years! What changes it has seen. No one at those tables and chairs, must be other springtime attractions.

That's a grand old plane tree indeed, complete with 'walking stick' reflecting its age.

I'm glad you included the tables and chairs to show just how humongous this ancient tree is. Fabulous capture and composition. ~BV~
