In the winter after the olive harvest is the time for cleaning up orchards. Farmers and wannabes thin branches from trees to cut dead and damaged wood but also to open the tree to light and air. The man working on the fig tree is 78 year old Mitsos Sklavos. At the time of the photo he was about 3 meters above the earth, holding on to the tree with one hand and sawing with the other. He works everyday. Τι να κανούμε;
Mitsos in the tree

I love these people. There is not a day that they are not busy with something. And they have great stories to tell too!
They are the aristocracy of the island. They work with dignity and are proud to do a good job.
