Description
In 2011, this palm was far smaller and sat adjacent to the sidewalk that ran along Paseo Del Mar Ave. in San Pedro, CA. Over time, cracks began to appear in the roadway, and eventually the earth decided to move. A lot. Toward the ocean. The spit of land you see and the tree which stakes a claim on it separated and quickly moved west. A deep chasm opened and swallowed the irreparable northern section of Paseo Del Mar. All along this immediate coastal area, the movements continue. Years ago, I used to jog along the ocean right here, on a sidewalk just this side of the palm, running left to right.
Now it poses as the precariously positioned Pedro palm on Paseo. Put that in the pipe and puff it.

Hey, Joe! That's a palm tree that really wants a view and has refused to give in to Mum Nature. I nominated this delightful photograph for a Special Feature in the 1000 Views group! l/f
