Ever go out on someone's balcony and wish you had their view? Check out the photo above. Looks like a dreamy sunset shot. Don't the phone lines and the palm trees provide the perfect man vs. nature contrast?

Funny thing about palm trees: Though they have come to symbolize the laid back, SoCal lifestyle, only one variety of palm tree (Washingtonia filifera) is native to the area. All other palms were, at some point in time, imported.
