On the Roof


Looking in between the two buildings I spotted an interesting building straight ahead. I am always interested in vintage architecture and neat old windows.
I saw a bushy/grassy/green thing up there practically on the roof. Can you see it?-- above the windows?



So, I zoomed in. At first it had looked like a Christmas tree up on or near a roof top garden. The closer I got, it no longer looked like that. It looked more like a palm tree.


So I zoomed a little more! Couldn't yet tell it it as a tree growing in a pot on someone's balcony......or just a weed?
One thing for sure...I could now clearly see some real nice carving all fancy and pretty--that was pretty invisible in Photo Number One.

Zooming in closer..............
Closer..............
What do y'all think it is way up high on the top of that building? I think it's a palm tree like plant/shrub that some birds planted there by accidentally dropping seeds and there was enough dirt/dust/leaves etc. for the seeds to sprout.

  3. I think since it is so bushy looking that it is a palmetto tree. I also think you are right about it getting accidentally planted by birds. At any rate, I'm glad you saw it. That is a beautiful old building!

  5. That's amazing!! I have honeysuckle bushes the birds planted for me so I can believe they could plant that tree too!!

  6. How funny! It DOES look like a palm. At first I thought someone had a rooftop garden with a palm tree in it! How interesting! You see so much when you take the time to look UP! Hugs!

  7. I agree; it is some kind of palm and it is a point of interest that makes one look closer at the architecture.

  8. Debbi, thank you for visiting my blog and leaving the comment...about Smokey. I've been missing you. I've simply got to do better at keeping up. I may never adjust to having my husband home most of the time now. :) That tree like thing is unusual up there. I'm like you and think it was accidentally planted by a bird. It does look kind of like a palm tree.

  10. I don't know what it is but it is beautiful. I hope it's a shady spot on someone's balcony.
