Combien des olives pour une petite voiture ?

up here in the nearly sunless north ; ), we hardly ever get to see fresh olives, let alone being shown how they are sorted out! a very interesting and, in a way, a very sensuous process, involving the touch of hands and probably a characteristic scent… love the dappled light on the scene, which seems to repeat the scattered looks of the olives! greetings, sabine.

Great document of hard work in a rural area. And a gorgeous b/w Photo.

Eccellente fotografia, testimonianza dell'attività millenaria di coltura degli ulivi e lavorazione dei loro frutti.
Un caro saluto,
Carlo

Fascinating play of light and shadow. I guess it's nice to work in such atmosphere...
Friendly regards,
Sergey.

It my be a long and often tedious job sorting the olives....but it keepps him occupied and doing a valued job. As a race we are too keen to build machines to put others out of work...... i.m.h.o.

this looks like such a tedious job .... not something we think about when we enjoy olives (like I do for my daily lunch) .... hard work, never-ending .... making one appreciate one's life here - yes, your image well done !!!
greetings, Adele

This picture is looking like from the start of the 20th century !
There are many of traditional works in the villages, which you can do only by own hands.
Perfect visual documentation, Alexander!
Regards
Tania
