Featured photographer Murray West: "I have tried to capture the unique nature of these ancient olive trees: "'The forceful, yet bizarre shapes of these olive trees, these Mallorcan foster-fathers, are unequalled. The islanders swear that no plantation is more recent than the time of the Romans. Even if I wished to, I cannot dispute this, for I have no way of proving the contrary. After one look at their daunting appearance, the incredible size and frenzied attitudes of these mysterious trees, my imagination voluntarily accepted them as contemporaries of Hannibal. In the evening, when walking in their shade you have to remind yourself that they are trees: for if you believe your imagination and what your eyes see, you would be terror-stricken by these fantastic monsters...'
