Rosario Civello - Monuments of Nature #1

This photo is part of the "Monuments of Nature" project, dedicated to the trunks of centuries-old olive trees. The project aims to pay homage to the longevity and majesty of these specimens, inviting the observer to linger on their silent presence and the memories they hold.
The twisted surfaces, smoothed by time and shaped by natural agents, take on an almost sculptural value, transforming each tree into a true monument of Nature.
