I'm sure there are many influences, but right off the bat this immediately reminds me of two examples. First the Java Lanes... :down: And then the restaurant next to Humphrey's Half Moon Inn on Shelter Island in Sandy Eggo. What was it originally? The Tahiti? Port Royale? And now I guess it's L'Escale, with the blandified interior but the great exterior still standing guard (I hope)... :down: BTW, I love the depth effect in the second picture. Dunno if that's an in-camera effect coming from the aperture, or a little post-processing trickery, but it comes off great! Thanks for posting, you-hana! -Randy
