The leaves are about 16 feet long—it's massive. Every time a leaf dies and falls to the ground, I have to cut it into multiple pieces before burning it. Despite having to clean up after it, the tree provides many benefits, such as shade, coconuts, and photo opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeing in close proximity to this tree made me realize that I had no idea what coconut tree bark looked like, and it looks quite strange. If someone asked me to draw a coconut tree in detail, I would've never imagined the bark looking that way—it's alien. So, naturally, I took a bunch of photos of it; this is my favourite one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003eIt rained in the morning, and then the sun came out. It was midday and hot, and the water captured by the massive leaves was still making its way down the trunk—interesting architecture now that I think about it. It's like the tree was designed to water itself; you don't really see that with trees in North America. Anyways, this set of events created a look to the tree that caught my eye, mainly because it accentuates the strange look of the bark, and it also makes it look like the tree is sweating in the heat, just like I was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003eSome photos don't have any deep meaning; some photos are strictly for the aesthetic, and this is one of them. It's currently my phone wallpaper. I'm in my green era—and I've been in it for a while. In colour psychology, green represents balance, harmony, and calmness. It helps relieve stress and calms the mind. It lives between the vibrant, optimistic, and lively energy of yellow and the strong, serene, grounding stability of blue. This is perfect if you're looking to add some green to your room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRead more about the collection \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/arthursollano.com\/pages\/szn1fs\" title=\"Fast Slow\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFast—Slow\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"a12t","offers":[{"title":"20\" x 28\" with frame","offer_id":49185743864064,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 28\" print only","offer_id":49185348944128,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/3832\/1664\/files\/Palm.jpg?v=1789935348","url":"https:\/\/arthursollano.com\/products\/palm","provider":"a12t","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
