I have never seen a farm with palm trees. For me they are just ornaments. LOL Very good photo.

Nice shot of the farmer climbing up on the Areca palm. It may be a tine tested way of climbing but it still looks dangerous to me - like a sailor on the mast!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

At first I thought that might be you climbing the tree, Sayed. I thought maybe you had put your camera on a timer and scurried up the tree. LOL

I love the verticals in your shot with all of the tree trunks. The climber's outfit really makes him the focus of the shot. I hope you have some luck with those white skies.

interesting.
I think I'd like to see the trees without the climber or a tighter crop on the climber.
