Default One (olive) tree hill

The olive tree made its appearance in the Mediterranean region (middle east) thousands of years ago and spread to nearby countries from here. Over the years, the olive has been the symbol of peace, wisdom, glory, fertility, power and pureness. In addition olives, green and black, are so tasty!

I found this isolated tree in a trip to the north of the country during the last winter. The sky was grey, gloomy, rainy and boring all around. I didn't know what to do with the image until I found that the sky can be replaced following this procedure:

I think it is decent now. Thanks for looking and for any comment you may have.

It was taken after a rainy day, which happens rearly. This sight will not be back for a while, probably. I found myself stuck on that thinking about life and stuff...I hope I was able to capture a bit of that moment.

I'm glad you like it, Thanks!
