The almond tree growing next to the Chapel of Saint Gregory of Sinai, on the high Sinai plateau, has a gnarled and twisted trunk. The location can be cold and windy. Even so, it manages to bloom every spring.

Lovely
Fantasic, looks very beautiful, oh yes I know the tree..
Thanks Father Justin.
See you
Father Justin,
Trying to look for details of this beautiful tree, I noticed there is a bucket quite close to it, on the 2nd picture.
Is it a well, covered by wood boards ? If so; it explains why this tree is there, it has roots in the moist ground !
Thank you so much for your beautiful pics. Take care of you.
The almond tree grows next to a well that is covered by wooden boards, with a bucket for drawing up water. The area is surrounded by a wall, though parts of it are now in ruins. There must have been a garden at the site centuries ago.
DoxaTo Theo ☦☦☦ for all his beauty and grace in nature!, esp during Holy Week! I’ve never been there but God willing someday
