Ancient Olive Tree with a gnarly trunk

The local grandparents mainly the men
picking up their grand kids, wait patiently sitting under this tree, smoking & playing tavli in the shade. I’ve had many a lovely chat… I’ve loved listening to the stories of their lives.

Your description conjures a scene I’ve seen many times in Cypriot villages. Older men playing backgammon & drinking Turkish Coffee. Lovely old tree.
