maybe you should try it sometime,its good for cardiovascular fitness,etc.

[palmazon]

the pictures don't do it justice; there's a little brook running through, giant Ficus w/huge buttress roots, multiple groups of Caryota urens throughout - all fruiting

I need a panoramic camera like Dean's

[palmazon]

trying out photobucket - is this a Brahea or Livistona?

[palmazon]

seriously - any guesses?

[Tassie_Troy1971]

I am 90 % sure its Livistona decipiens i was in Sydney 2 weeks ago for work and they are planted everywhere outside the darling harbour exhibition centre

[Kris]

Dear Daniel  

the fan palm I.D of that palm looks like a Livistona.Sp to me,

though i fully accept iam a novice in this field.but the first still

with seeds in it has no relation to that of a breha.Sp at all ?

did you notice that !

love,

Hi Danny

Does Pasadena count as Los Angeles?  Here's a few photos taken earlier this summer

Taken from the Huntington mesa looking over San Marino on  a hazy day

Danny

There are some huge gigas downtown near where I work.  I'll get some photos some day.  Here are some shots of archontophoenix I took around the Civic Center last winter

[osideterry]

Palmazon, your photos were rockin' with photobucket. More?

Your photos are also quite nice happ. Love me the Livistonas. I think of them as a feather palms masquerading as fan palms. I also think of Phoenix as fan palms masquerading as feather palms. I'm a confused man.

[palmazon]

ost - I'll add more as I get them

happ - keep'm coming

[Kris]

Dear Happ

This is a teaser - I'm saving it for the journal (BTW, so should you)

[Scott]

Happ - The house in post 16 is really cool, and I love the downtown scene in 18.

Great topic Danny. I'll have to see what I have to add.

[Gileno Machado]

Nice pictures Danny...San Pedro, hmmmmm...now I know where my c. urens came from... :cool:

Downtown LA

[Al in Kona]

Los Angeles area does have some very nice palms but it coveres such a large area that one could spend a good part of his lifetime and still be surprised every now 'n then with a palmy area he'd never seen before.

[happ]

More downtown LA

Wish all alleys looked so good  :laugh:

[happ]

Dypsis that could use more water

Talk about lack of water  

Infamous MacAuthur Pk [where LAPD went berserk against May Day demonstrators  

[Scott]

Here is where I work - true the palms are not exotic - in fact quite common. But they did a beautiful job, and my pictures can not do it justice.

This complex was owned by Aaron Spelling and was used as Heather Locklears office in "Melrose Place."

[Scott]

[Scott]

[happ]

Nice shots, Scott    I agree that it is easy to post photos of the usual washingtonia/queens/CIDP & kings [that I am partial to] rather than the more unusual palms but the "usual" palms are everywhere and so handsome that it is hard not to share the photos.  I keep my camera in the car in order to find the more exotic palms to admire & photograph.

[Kris]

Dear Happ & Dear Scotty  

Fentastic stills and i had a great visual feast.most of my favouriate palms are all covered in it.and scotty some stills i have seen earlier but the bottom to top shoot out was new

and very well shot.

And dear daniel as for photo uploading i came across this site

but have not tried it yet..here is the link !

[paulgila]

cool photography,scott!you managed to add more interest to something i am ALREADY interested in!

[JakeK]

Nice palm tour of the L.A. area. Those archontophoenix downtown in post 20 are real stunners.

[SubTropicRay]

Nice shots amigo.  I'll be in your neck of the woods again in September.

[Zac in NC]

Hey Danny. Think you'll be up to palm spotting again tonight? Last night's run to the Hilton to see the Jubaeopsis was cool. Those palms are massive and its a pity neither of us doofs had a camera with us. Sooooooooo many palms to see in LA.

Zac in LA at the moment

[Al in Kona]

Anybody have a photo of that big Jubaeopsis caffra at the Hilton that Zac mentioned in above post?  If you do, please post it for us.  It must be one of the largest in the U.S.A.
