08.21 TAL-FELLIES

I joined my dad along a trek through his family-owned farmland. The plot of land rests along a terraced hillside in an area of fields called Tal-Fellies. Barren and dry, the land hasn’t been cultivated in years but a few surviving almond trees still bear fruit. A sign that there is life on this earth is enough to instil hope that it will not continue to go to waste for long. If I lived here I’d certainly take a hoe to the ground and get some figs growing and tomatoes going.
