Description
An old Volkswagen campervan ends its days in a peaceful olive grove on a Greek Island.
In olive oil-producing countries such as Greece, tourists can wander through olive groves all year round, observing not only the summer growth of olives, but their autumn harvest, the winter landscapes, and the new spring branches, leaves, and blossoms as well.
The cycle’s annual repetition is as timeless as the earth. People and nature work together to make “Greek liquid gold†from the ultimate living symbol of Greece, the olive tree.
As harvest approaches huge green nets are spread underneath the olive trees, and people of all ages beat the branches with harvesting instruments that resemble rakes or pitchforks until the olives fall onto the nets. Professional olive farmers hire teams of labourers to help them, but for many Greeks, the annual harvest is a traditional family affair, with the oil distributed among friends and family members.
