Greetings,
How are you doing?
I am happy to join a bit late this event of Shadow hunt photo.
The scenery is just breathtaking, and I could not resist capturing the shadow of this growing palm trees.

The first photo above is my entry in the contest. I appreciate this opportunity allowing the publication of Shadows.

You can see that the content on the photo speak for itself.
The beautiful color of sand the green of the plant and the blue light sky is a unique moment of pure relaxation at the beach.

The plants were so small last year when I saw them developing leaves and a thick low part just above the sand.
It is amazing to see the palm trees develop so rapidly in such difficult area where lack of freshwater and terrible heat cause irreversible damage to the young plant in the process of growing.

A building in construction can be seen far away. I bet the look from that height will be amazing.

You will think that the palm trees are covering the enter cover of the sand on the Ocean side of town.
This place is going to be my favorite spot to spend some time on the shade around 12 in the morning.

The small trees have not reached two meters of height, that the shadow on the ground already offers enough space for an adult to rest and catch some fresh air.

I love the position of this photo below. I wish that the sky was not too gray at the time.
The details on the ground are not as specific as I would like considering the lack of sunlight.

I don't know about your favorite choice in this list of beautiful palm trees and the shadow on the ground.
If you choose one in particular, you will let me know the reason you prefer this photo as opposed to the other photos.
![IMG_20250202_121211.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/600x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oadissin/23y92EwWtPGNuwEry2xj7oYTK9i4WayBQ8P17AkJKZhtikB3vc1qWQRVsLZXWxckTWq72.jpg)
If it was left to me choice I would choose all the photos. I will wait for the tree to grow taller before capturing the large shadow on the ground.
Also, before I leave you look and choose your favorite photo, I spotted a second site where the same palm tree are growing with less vitality than at this location
When I am back to the opposite side of the beach at around 10 miles I will share the photo of the other site on my blog but in another category due to the small side of the plant at this stage of their development.
Nature affect significantly the pattern of growth according to location of the site and distance to the Ocean.
