Neil,
It's such a pleasure to see photos of things I've only read about.
It sends chills down my back to even think of cutting down 400 year old trees.
You should work for the tourism folks. Your stories and photos make everyone want to visit.
I love figs and have one tree but it is struggling.
I also wanted to tell you I'm probably the only person in the world who has never been to Starbucks.
Thank you for another information packed article with such stunning photos.
