these iconic structures throughout Salento, like totems moored on the land.
many now restored and showcase beautifully among the olive groves and open fields.
the end of each day locals are in the fields and in their groves tending and preparing for harvest.
each have their allotments or parcels handed down
Edifices once used . Neolithic patterns

a sunset adventure
items in my bag two apples. camera . notepad /pen . water .

hoping the birds find shelter as shot guns are firing regularly now with the pending November harvest...

A morning glory - now in it's fading cycle as it pales with the sun setting.
This one started deep purple
now
a five pointed star display
and a cactus heart, marveling at the signatures of today!
wikipedia: there are over 1,000 species of Morning Glory

An old faith
sounds in the labour of Stone
I think of the legacy left, not in the old olive trees,
but in the Stone.
but in the Stone.
stones,
totems to a past display.
A history.
My mind letting loose,
biking the many kilometers of country roads,
it's beautiful here...
it's beautiful here...
'the children... gifts... tanga te whenua - actions - those effecting 7 generations... what is our world?'
children and their children's children
to leave behind gifts
of strength,
a faith they come to know, not just of religion,
this may fade,
but of Spirit,
and in those before them, in
the cuddle of the great mystery
.
.
sounding
with echoes
of stone and heaven,
combing a way to the Ancestors.
