Palms and the Hilltop Cross

Puerto Los Cabos, San José del Cabo, Mexico

The Cross Above the Palms

At Puerto Los Cabos, palm trunks and umbrellas in the foreground, and a hilltop cross soft in the haze beyond.

Puerto Los Cabos

At Puerto Los Cabos, palm trunks and beach umbrellas sit in the foreground. Beyond them, soft in warm haze, a hilltop cross.

The resort garden does most of the framing. The cross is small in the frame on purpose — a distant mark, not a monument study.

Late light. The haze takes the hard edge off the hill and turns the cross into a silhouette.

No people in this frame. The umbrellas imply them without showing them.

From the bag

Telephoto compression stacks palms, umbrellas and the distant cross. Exposure held for the bright sky so the cross stays a dark shape.
