Description

The Royal Palms is a popular high end resort that has been the home away from home for entertainers and Presidents. We were staying in a delightful casita across from the Presidential Suite (no famous people were visiting when we were there). The architecture was reminiscent of the Southwest of the 1920�s. At that early morning hour the light was beaming through the open corridors making for some interesting patterns. The Royal Palms was built in 1929 as a summer retreat for Cunard Steamship executive and financier Delos Cooke. Located at the foot of Camelback Mountain, the Royal Palms combine the graciousness and sophistication of a Mediterranean villa with the intimacy and privacy of a secluded retreat.

The front entrance to the resort is a spectacular entryway surrounded by gleaming carved granite around the huge blue riveted door that opened into a beautiful courtyard fountain. The pavers of the driveway lead up brick steps to the entrance. Using a technique called HDR, I was able to capture the exposure of the inner courtyard and the brilliant blues of the outside entrance. I used a tripod for all my shots that day. Too often we fail to recognize the beauty of our nearby surroundings. We have stayed at the resort several times, but now will always remember the morning we captured the light.
