A very simple photograph of a palm leaf, taken on the island of st Martin in the Carribean, with backlight highlighting the edges and textures of the fronds.
Quite often it's the details you find in a place that bring back the memories later on. In this case I was attracted to the lighting and geometry of the palm fronds by the side of the road as we were walking to our breakfast in the local cafe. It took me a little time to find a palm leaf with good quality fronds, but not too long, as breakfast was getting cold!
