Thanks Jean-louis.

What a magnificent specimen Keith! Actually all the trees in your picture look beautiful! They must like the Southsea sea air! autifully captured Scene.

Have a good and hopefully a little cooler weekend.

Thank you so much Rosa,............the council look after the whole of the common and the associated gardens very well and it's always worth looking round. Glad you like this view.

Have a good weekend yourself............I don't think it will get much cooler. Our current plan in to stay home on Sat and do a bit of gardening before the sun gets to hot. Sun is Father's Day, so we'll be out to lunch with my oldest daughter and her partner I expect.

Wow,da hast du Recht lieber Keith,dieser Baum ist phantastisch,dieser tolle Baumstamm und wie er sich oben entfaltet hat,ein wunderschöner Anblick ist das und der hintere Baum hat sich auch sehr schön angepasst von der Größe und der Form :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Glad you enjoyed this one Güni.............many thanks for your lovely comments. Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend.

And even more amazing because in Southern countries they are all dying from a bug infestation, in Monte Gordo there were dozens of them and now just a few left...

There are quite a few of these trees in Southsea, and they all seem to be thriving. Probably because the weather her becomes warmer each year!

So sad that you're losing your ones :-(

Wow ! That’s so impressive ! And it’s a finely composed picture !

Thank you Ulrich...........glad you approve.

Such a majestic palm in Southsea Common, Hampshire? Great.

There are around 15 of them overall Jean-Paul.........I believe they were planted as small trees in 1996.

Glad you like this one...........and thank you.

That’s so impressive !
Wonderful garden too!
Splendidly shown, Keith!

Thank you very much Judite...........Southsea Common is full of lovely trees and flowers and is looked after beautifully by the local authorities.

Impressive tree, well captured Keith

Glad you think so Jaap............many thanks.

The magnificent date palm rightly takes centre stage, but it has a fine selection of trees as a backing group in this beautifully composed image Keith,
A terrific capture with fine detail and superb colours, a lovely common indeed !
Wish you a great weekend

Such fantastic comments Roger...............thank you so much. I believe there are about 15 of these palm trees around Southsea........planted as small trees back in 1996. Glad you like this one!

Wow - you are so right - this date palm is absolutely amazing. I think this park is fantastic - all those stunning trees there. What a wonderful sight. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you so much Jenny. Southsea Common is full of lovely trees and flowers and the local council look after it very well.

dat is nog eens een knaap hoe oud is die

Not sure how old it is Fred..............but I believe this one with 14 others was planted on the Common in 1996.

Great tree, great capture.

Cheers John..............much appreciated.

The BBC radio is running a special few weeks to celebrate our favourite trees Keith. This surely would be in there with the best. Great capture here. Well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thanks Herb...........glad you like this one. There are about 15 of these lovely palms in Southsea, planted back in 1996 as small trees.

must be a special climate here ;-) wonderful!

It's right next to the sea Berny on the south coast, which tends to be quite warm compared with a lot of other places in the UK. There are about 15 of these palms here, planted back in 1996 as small trees, and I believe there are doing OK. Glad you like this one!

The palm tree is nearly as big as the native trees! An excellently composed photo.

Glad you like the photo and the tree Gudrun..............and thanks for commenting.

Eine beeindruckende und gleichzeitig unwirkliche Aufnahme! Es ist beachtlich, dass diese Palme sich so gut entwickelt hat. Sie profitiert von der Klimaerwärmung.

Many thanks Wilhelm................apparently there are around 15 of these in Southsea, planted back in 1996 as saplings. We're on the south coast near the sea, so it tends to be quite warm compared with a lot of other places in the UK.

Das Klima scheint so mild zu sein, dass diese Palme wächst und sich wohl fühlt...wunderschön....ein Prachtstück im Garten Keith!
