[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Aquest arbre, del que no recordo el nom, es plantat just al centre de cada poble que van conquerir els espanyols. En aquest cas és al poble de Maras. Com a "conmemoració" de cada poble conquerit, plantaven un arbre, i aquest va ser plantat cap al 1490. Lo més increible és que la gent, una vegada lliures de l'ocupació no els arranqués.

When the Spaniards conquered Peru, like "regards" to each conquered town, they planted a tree in the center of the town. This town is Maras, and this tree stood towards the 1490. To me, the most incredible it is than once finished the conquest, the inhabitants did not take it as it shows of his submission

Maybe they were grateful for the shade it provides, Jordi ;o).
A tree on a central spot can be found in any Mediterranean village as well...

good to leave the tree
it's sad when old trees are cut down
strong light and some work against the angle of this shot though
the feeling of desolation and emptiness is notable
