Textures

We are in Orlando, hooray! Here for a conference my husband attends each year. I tag along and (try) to get my taxes prepped. Last year, the conference Executive Director asked me to take some photos. Said he never has been successful getting photographs of this event. So, I ran around for 20 minutes and gave him about 100 shots. Apparently he liked them as he asked me to photograph this year. I didn't realize my foot wouldn't be completely healed. But, here I am. My physical therapist gave me a crutch to help with the distances of the hotel. Didn't take long to realize that would not work as it is quite a hike anywhere in this massive place. We rented a motorized scooter. Zoom, zoom! The guy who delivered it had the audicity to suggest I should start out in the "tortoise" mode. I think not! I am a "hare" or nothing. Zoom, zoom! :-) As stupid luck would have it, I left my battery charger at home. Fortunately my husband brought his camera and charger.

I am in love with all the detail of this hotel. It is about two years old. Fascinating, gorgeous light fixtures every where I turn. Architectural detail. Decorating. Phenomenal. Well, maybe not 5 star worthy, but I really love it here.

This photo was taken of the texture in the elevator. And, yes, of course I intended to capture the shape of a heart. :-) It's amazing what people see.
I would had never guessed it was the elevator. Great abstract.

@anazad511 And the photo really gives no clue as to what it is. It is one of those texturized wall coverings and the light was shining down, so I shot up. To me, the photo looks like a light fixture.

Looks like fiber optic kind of lighting. Very cool, Danette!

Beautiful Danette! Congratulations on your photo shoot! As I studied your shot I realized the brightest part almost makes a heart.

@rhoing It does, Thom!

@shirleytemple I am! Zoom zoom! My son laughed so much when he came to visit last night.

@skipt07 Thanks so much for pointing that out! I absolutely did not see that, but yesterday was an aggravating day as a deal was falling apart. Got it put back together this morning.

@bkbinthecity I am having a wonderful time, thank you! Been cooped up a little too long.

@pamknowler Thanks, Pam!

@glenmoor Thanks, Julian. I just love this hotel and all the little things to discover.

@billsouth Happy Valentine's Day, Bill! I am so glad you spotted the heart (which I did not).

@drewhuy Thanks, Drew!

@janakamom Thanks, Jan, I just love this texture, too.
