P is for palm trees



Since it's been raining non-stop these past couple of days, I was only seen indoors and I had the chance to review my archives.  I took this picture of palm trees a year ago near Valencia, along the Mediterranean Sea, at a magical time of the day: dusk. I think they are a sort of fan palms, although the fan-shaped leaves are not easy to see because of the wind.
