This is the theme for Jake's most recent Sunday Post challenge.
Flat lands have been rather neglected by me and my camera because I have, until now, found hills and mountains more appealing. However, I live on the coastal plains of southern Portugal, so I went out and took some new shots this week. Citrus trees, carob trees, olive trees and almond trees do well here.

Never-ending expanses of grazing land can be found further north in the Alentejo region. On one of my future car trips to the north I must get off the motorway and take more photos of this beautiful landscape.

Every year I look enviously at all the almond trees and wish I could grow them in my garden.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and intepretation of the theme :)
Thank you. Do you have the space? If you can grow a peach tree, an almond tree will grow there, too - they're related. I "have one" in the back neighbour's yard just behind my back wall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and peaceful!
