Trees like I have never seen before, and now due to the power cuts, I have not had a chance to ask aunty Google yet what they are. Maybe you know?
We were on a Sunday road trip and I have the habit to turn off into any roads that we have not traveled before.
So as we neared the end of this road under the mountain, we saw that there was some sort of Sunday market in the garden of a wine farm. A great reason to stop for some coffee and of course to explore. Sadly some areas were marked as "Private", and I would so have loved to walk through there with my camera.
We will have another power cut at 8pm, so I will be back at 10:40pm to see if anyone knows the trees.
Come and have a look at what I found.
Here below is a view of the road that we traveled on and it has many turn offs to farms and other towns.
So lets have a look at the trees, there were many of them and I have a few of them in here.
As you can see here below, the roots grow down to reach the ground as feeders for the mighty branches of this tree.
I can tell you that due to the sizes of the trees, that they are very old.
Finally, you can see that they held the market in the shade of these giants.
Always amazing what one can discover on our regular road trips in the countryside. We normally take these drives out on Sundays and we have never been disappointed, as there is always something new waiting for us to find.
So it is with expectation of the unknown, that we depart and as usual we return astonished and happy for seeing the beauty that surrounds us.
There was a date mark on the one of the buildings of this farm, stating that it was founded in 1682 and I will show you some of the buildings in another post, otherwise this post would have become too long.
I hope that you have enjoyed the beauty.
And That's All Friends.

Check out the last post from @hivebuzz:
Wonderful specimens! I know ficus trees have these majestic air/aerial roots, but not sure if these are the same - we have lots of old ficus trees here, and they look like old grandfathers! :)
Thank you and I was amazed to see the trees. I had a look at the ficus trees now and they state that the trunks of the ficus trees are grey and their roots look very similar. But the trunks of these ones are green and maybe it is a different species in the ficus tree family.
We have the gray trunked ficus trees also here and you are right, as it looks like they have long grey beards.

Are they banyan trees?
No idea my friend, but I think that they are some kind of Ficus trees. We are still searching for the correct name.
