Fanned Palm Leaves
While walking through Southbank Parklands today I took the rainforest walk and came across these fan like palms.
This particular leaf was nicely backlit and begging to be photographed.
See where this picture was taken.

these sort of palms sell for rather a lot as houseplants, well similar if not identical anyway! rather nice with the light coming through, what a nice place to walk !
And what's even better is it's so close to the city - I've geotagged it and put a map link above.
These palms grow natively here - they're still relatively expensive at a nursery but probably nowhere near as much as in the UK.
Nice shot David or is it Dave??
From a real palm tree nut looks like Livistona Australis.
Mind you for me nothing can beat the Licualas of FNQ.
LOL,
Thanks Ian, I used to be a bit of a palm head myself several years ago but have since forgotten a lot of that.
As for Dave or David, I answer to either, just don't call me late for Dinner! ;)
