Picking the date fruits from its tree.

One of the couple of trees in our home
and one of the last days of the autumn.

Which yearly opens its generous hands
and provides us with some VERY sweet dates.


But the process is so complicated that not a
normal person can do take care of the tree.


So, to make it fertilized, taken care of and pick the fruits,
a skillful person is always hired.


They climb up the tree, using a lasso made up of the tree's leaves.


The chair for the person to sit on that height and to be comfortable enough to think about the trees' best interest, is also the tree's branches


Then put a bunch of the dates in a bag which is weaved using the tree's leaves.




And it finds its way down to the ground through a leaf.


And you see here the last moment of falling the bag from the leaf path.


And the skilled person holds it from falling quickly.
There is always a risk of falling and I heard some people fell from the tree and ... :-(


And as you can see, there is no dates left on tree.


They put all the dates on the a carpet which is also woven by the trees' leaves.
I wonder how come every thing is made up of the tree.
In ancient times, the houses were used to be build by the body.



And the remaining parts are usually used to
make a fire, if there is not other application for them
like making hats and sweep and so on and so forth.
