It's a sabal palm, locally known as swamp cabbage, or cabbage tree. The "heart", a part of it near the base of the bud at the top is very good to eat. They have a festival about it here at LaBelle every Feb. Swamp Cabbage Receipe

I like how the tree seems isolated.

So that's what it looks like in the wild!

When I lived in Brazil they used to sell "palmito" in the open market. It comes in "slices" about 10 inches wide and six inches thick. You take it home and boil it and boil it and boil it until it is "tender". Even so, there are still a lot of outer layers that have to be peeled off. When you are through, you have a cylinder about 2.5 inches thick and six inches long which is then cut into smaller segments and served with an oil and vinegar dressing. It's good, but not that much better than the palmito that comes in a can. It's one of those things that makes you wonder how anyone figured out that this was edible.

I really like the colors in your picture. That sky looks very tropical.
