On The Edge Of The Sand

Hand in hand
on the edge of the sand
they danced by the
light of the moon.
...Edward Lear

Grand, glamorous and one of a kind describes the Catalina Casino Ballroom. If only the walls could talk, they'd tell countless stories of romance and celebration. All the famous big bands of the 1930's and 1940's played here. It was the place to come and dance the night away, then go out on the sweeping veranda, called Romance Promenade, for a 360 degree view of Avalon Bay and Descanso Beach.

The ballroom floor is 20,000 square feet. A record 6,200 people danced to the music of Kay Kyser on May 8, 1940. It also has a fifty foot ceiling. It is a historic Art Deco masterpiece and the tour was wonderful. Nice on Black.

Absolutely spectacular! Fav. Great light effects and beautiful colours. What do you think about cropping it a little bit on the left, to make it symmetrical? Just an idea... (it's beautiful the way it is)

Cool image. I agree with @lastrami_ and think it could be cropped to make it symmetrical. I’m just a symmetrical type of person though and agree that’s it’s a beautiful pic either way.
