Centennial Park, palm trees

These streaky clouds hang above these palm trees in Centennial Park, in the eastern suburbs. The two rows of Canary Island Date Palms line the walkway that runs beside Busby's Pond.

  11. Beautifully captured, those palms look very healthy!
    I have read that in Italy, the native palm trees are dying at a worrying rate, killed of by an invasive insect introduced with imported young trees that were infested by buried insect pupae.

  12. Merisi in Vienna, a lot of these palm trees have died in Sydney in recent years but I think in our case it was some sort of fungus that spread and killed them.
