These trees look like some aliens from outer space.

Nice shot! Interesting trees, they look like some form of cactus.

@Stunner: Thanks. I think they're called Joshua Trees.

Very unusual trees.

Those trees are very interesting and from this angle they look intimidating which is perhaps why the bench is vacant? I'd be afraid the trees would attack! Just kidding of course.

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

Those close-cropped trees look almost threatening . . anyone sitting there should glance over their shoulder from time to time!

26 Mar 2008 8:50pm

@Ronnie 2¢: that seems to be a common reaction to this shot. i guess i thought they looked really weird the first time i saw them too, but the place is really a very peaceful place to sit, when it's not a tourist attraction.

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

Very nice shot ... great angle. You live in an exotic land with odd, but beautiful, trees...

Such a unique angle for this wonderful bench. Those trees are most unusual. Lovely composition.

Reminds me of the "platanes" that give shade to the little town squares at the "Côte d'Azur" in France. That's where the oldtimers play their bocce balls...

Nicely framed. The trees are so interesting against the blue sky. I like the straight lines in the bench.

wow! this is a strange, yet really nice image.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

Ah, I should've seen this longer exposure shot first. I am a landscape architect so I kind of enjoy identify the type of tree from their silouette. They really add characteristic to a neighborhood!
