A real Florida palm tree growing up against a wall in the courtyard of a Ybor City bar has been wrapped by a metal tabletop, hung with strings of lights and decorated with fake, metal palm frawns. What other abuse can a palm take and still live? How 'bout gallons of beer poured around its roots. Yeh, that'll make it happy.The Weekend in Black and White is hosted by Dragonstar HERE. You'll love the monochromatic images. They are spectacular.
Oooppsss...so sad for the palm tree. It must have some space to breathe. Really it looks great in b/w though. Mine is at the Exposed page. Thanks and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAn unbelievable sight! This is downright cruelty and abuse of life! I could easily wish the palm to fall over and, in revenge, smash through the wall and damage all the artifical decoration!
ReplyDeletePoor thing,nice capture though!visit my weekend in black and white
ReplyDeleteOuch for it! They've managed to make it look artificial - maybe that was their intention?? I would love to set it free.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange thing to find. Poor tree! It makes a great selection of patterns though, so maybe that cheers it up ;)
ReplyDeleteBit sad for the tree, but then it takes all sorts as they say.
ReplyDeleteThat poor palm tree! Good capture of it here in your photo.
ReplyDeleteFlorida palm trees are tough! It can take this "abuse" and much more. Not to worry. Probably loves beer, too!
ReplyDeleteRe your comment about crossing the country in that Corvette...that would be a trip, alright! A little cramped, though. I probably wouldn't be able to walk for a month. ;-)
Hi Frank! Glad to see you are back too. I don't know what to say about this poor tree, but it is a great shot!
