The day was mostly overcast, except for patches of dull blue, and this one hole just on dusk that the fast disappearing sun found as an excuse to floodlight the palm. It almost looks as thought it was shining UP into the tree. Actually it almost was!
For the technically minded, the palm is livistona Australis, a variety of Cabbage Tree Palm indigenous to this area, and this one is about seven metres tall and lives right beside our back verandah.

Of course not! That is a lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent golden light that almost makes this palm huggable.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I never knew there was such a thing as *cabbage* palm... does it have any fruit?
ReplyDeleteMirela, the fruit are tiny berries, with barely enough flesh to cover the seed. The lorikeets (green parrots) love them, but they come in at sunset and it's been impossible to get a decent photograph of them thus far!
ReplyDeleteIf it got a sky it ain't no cheat. Crative 'tis what it is.
ReplyDeleteNo your still looking upward, and I love that-great palm tree. Thanks for sharing 'midge:)

Ah, well that surely does make me homesick...as I have one outside my bedroom window at home...and hear all the possums crawl out at night! Besides listening to the branches fall off occasionally...!!
ReplyDeleteis it humid and sticky there? it's been as hot as hell here and very dry.
ReplyDeleteNot with light like that, its not.
