That is a story of shepherds lives in Anatolian peninsula.
Based on the story, each shepherds turn to a tree when they die. To show their thankfulness and respect to nature.
I couldn’t stop my self to think about that story when I saw this lovely 76 years old shepherd and the trees on the left side hand in this photo
