Seen at the corner of Pine St. and West 12th Avenue (image is courtesy of Google maps, as I didn’t have a camera handy as I went by it the other day):
I’m not sure why so many Vancouverites are fascinated by palm trees — though I confess I find them exotic and mysterious compared to the billion maple trees normally seen hereabouts — but this is my new favorite clump of palm trees in the city, nestled as they are around a sign proudly identifying the location as Pine Place.
