Description
"The Walnut Tree" in the courtyard of an Armenian Monastery dating back to around 931 AD. I don't know exactly how old the walnut tree is, but the Monk that I asked guessed it to be around 150, or more, years old. As you can see it has seen some hard times.
The monastery is in the mountains of southern Armenia, virtually in the middle of no-where. The road is just barely wide enough for a smaller sized 4 wheel drive SUV. If you aren't careful you're falling down the side of a mountain (no such thing as guard rails). This monastery is roughly 4,000 feet above sea level.
There weren't any walnuts on the tree at the time, but if you've ever eaten fresh walnuts, they are delicious, not quite the same as what we buy in the stores.
