The neo-classical public building, large evergreen tree and old Soviet army truck are all typical in urban environments in Georgia. And the palm tree is typical in the low lying regions in western Georgia near the Black Sea.
One item we saw the Cameroonians selling along side of the roads was palm oil. I'm not sure if this is the same kind of palm tree they get it from, but we saw plantations of palm trees driving to Bamenda. I've seen plenty of palm trees in my life time, but never in plantations.
I have no idea what all of the various types of palm trees are, but I thought the ones like this were pretty.
The 1970 earthquake leveled much of Huaraz and its surroundings, but it also caused a landslide which completely buried the small city of Yungay and its 20,000 people. The land is now "Campo Santo" and a place to remember this very tragic natural disaster. It is covered with rosebushes donated by the Japanese government.
Only four palm trees survived the landslide, and only one is still alive today. The rest were planted to mark where the Plaza de Armas used to be.
We have this weird palm tree in the entry way. It is growing so big that is is now pushing against the roof. We don't quite know what to do with it.
I've made a number of attempts to capture the leaves in the sunlight but it never turned out quite right (and the leaves seemed to point at me and laugh every time I left the house). I think this one is ok; Good...now I can move on to something else :)
