Palm Trees at Night

When I think of photos I've seen of palms trees, the ones that first come to mind are those that we've all probably seen thousands of times throughout our lives: a grove of palms set aside a sunny tropical beach and aqua green water, or palms silhouetted against a sunset. Palm trees are associated with paradise. Their form represents escape, freedom and relaxation. With the following series I attempted to break from the classic image of a palm tree. Yet still serene and majestic in this setting, the backdrop of a night sky inspires a revised interpretation of the palm tree.

Look close and you can see the constellation Orion.

In case you're wondering that white line is an airplane.
