A vibrant potted palm stands framed by an archway leading to an outdoor space. A white umbrella in the background is contrasted against a bright blue sky. Long shadows in shades of pink extend from the palm, the umbrella and the arch. The minimalism of the scene, combined with the soft shades, produces a sense of calm and understated luxury.
