Palms

I've spent more time than I probably should trying to get interesting photos of palm trees.

What I learned from this is...Palm trees are inherently boring!

So they need another element to make an interesting photo...Clouds seem like a natural way to go (pun not intended, sorry).

Just this last week we have had some good clouds, so I chased down a couple of palm trees I really like (on the third fairway at Alhambra Golf Course).

Clicking on the image will enlarge it.

The light, and the clouds, changed rapidly...

This last shot looks like it was taken on some mid-Pacific atoll, still the third fairway at Alhambra...

That's it for today.

I hope you enjoyed, and as always, thanks for looking.
