Metallic fronds, closer up

...this is the same metallic palm tree sculpture from the Canyon Club sunset I shot yesterday. The perspective: looking almost straight up from the ground.
I really like how the saw-edged silhouette of the palm fronds lay sharp and flat against the bluish sky and puff white clouds. But my favorite part is the rust orange accents from the setting sun behind me.

Why did you remove my comment about the palm trees? It really is a disastrous idea!
I think your site is fantastic, by the way!
The palm sculpture is on the other side of the Cape May bridge, not Cape May proper. Interesting because I received quite a few emails about the photos, mostly good, but some puzzled about Palm trees in NJ. I think the way I shot them made them look much bigger and more prominent than they are. Plus, they are works of art versus the real thing.
Thanks for stopping in, appreciate it.
I'm in Fla and I love palm trees (have some in my front yard, actually). But they have no place in Cape May or close to Cape May. They'd be great in Wildwood, if used correctly to enhance the doowop theme.
Again, great website and I check it out almost everyday...
I think you'd be surprised how small they are. Have a good weekend!
