Is that a gas holder/gasometer in the distance?

This tree appears to be a California Fan Palm. Their generic name is in honor of President Washington. They are native to Southern California and a small part of Baja California, Mexico....fossils of them are found to be 70 million years old. They flower in the Spring and are usually but not always, separately male and female trees. To determine the sex, you have to see the flowers up close when they're in bloom. I haven't done that yet.
