The Bar's open by maggiemae

The Bar's open

At the bottom of NZ we. as usual, experienced a change in weather - cold wintry rain. Life was contained within a hotel room and I used up just about all my hotel allowance on the internet in one day! 365 takes up a heap of megabytes!
In the evening we went to one of the hotel bars for a meal and this is John being a cowboy chatting up the barmaid!

Three good things:
1. Taken on my iPhone here and got away with more photos at an event in the hotel where there were various concert items including a hip hop children’s group.
2. The gym here had various challenges and I rose to them - so many minutes on the rowing machine and more on the exercise cycle! I think I used the 30 calories as stated on the cycle that I had won, on just one drink! I give up!
3. Meeting new people. Not my comfort zone but good for me.
Great bar shot.

Brilliant bar shot Maggie! Love the lights round the edge & that cool dude with his foot on the foot rest. A very relaxed pose! Gym, that's a dirty word in my book!

@happypat I get so bored doing stuff in the gym! But when its raining and cold outside - its the only option!

Fascinating shot. The guy at the bar has the "usual bar stance" -- foot on the rail....

I hope the rain doesn't take the fun out of your vacation. Love John's pose and the blue lighting adds to the atmosphere.

Great composition and lighting...looks like you all had the bar to yourselves :)

@seattlite For a very short while, yes! Just ordering a good red for both of us!

Super bar shot Maggiemae , it looks as if John is the only cowboy in town !!

Not much call for a gunslinger these days!

@beryl The only cowboy in town worth tapping on the shoulder and saying, "You are mine, remember?", Beryl!

@365projectorgsebgritt His guns are only mobile phones, Sebastian. And even those don't work sometimes!

Looks like a very posh bar - great low lighting, love the blues.

Nice colourful night shot!

It looks like a cosy place to be when it is wintry out.
November 24th, 2016  
Great lighting. It looks rather quiet.

I can relate to number 2. It hardly seems worth the effort when one good red later its used up! Great bar photo though.

@kiwinanna I also could have been a cappuccino though, Liana! I think worrying about it also uses calories!
