The palm tree sets itself apart from the rest. It is probably a survivor from an old time...a time for which he is the one thing remaining.
The statue of James Outram, a work by Matthew Noble, stands in Whitehall Gardens in London, south of Hungerford Bridge. It is a Grade II listed structure.
Unusually, the plan to erect the statue began in Outram's own lifetime, at a public meeting held in Willis's Rooms, London, on 5 March 1861. The general had recently returned to Britain from India, the stage on which his military career had been played out, due to poor health.
This thing always makes me think of the crossed palm trees in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" where all of the treasure is buried.
Also, this picture makes me think of an Onion article I read, reminding me to stop taking pictures of the silhouetted palm trees in front of an ocean sunset.
