This is a close-up image of a palm tree that was cut down. It was taken at Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona. This is one of my favorite places to go and take close-up pictures of the palm trees and cacti. There are also wonderful rock formations, plenty of walking trails, a casting pond for fishing, and the Phoenix Zoo and Botanical Gardens are nearby.

At this park, there are several palm trees that have been cut down. I found this cross section of one of the trees to be very interesting. The patterns and shapes look like a flowing river. I really enjoy this image of something that most people walk by and probably don’t even know is there. These are the images that I try to look for and create.
