The olive grove


Back in May we were staying in the charming village of Estoi inland from Faro in the Algarve, Portugal.  On an early morning walk down the back lane to my hotel I spotted this abandoned olive groves through a locked gate. It was part of the grounds of a once imposing but now abandoned house. The sun was in the wrong place for a photo but I came back in early eveing to take this photo. You can see abandoned gardens and olive groves beside abandoned farms and houses throughout the Mediterranean region. I usually see them when I am driving and when the sun is in the wrong place but this time I was lucky.
