Cathedral to Summer

An open-air eating area, closed for the winter, spotted on a beach walk. It reminded me of a church. South Padre Island, Texas. I thought about doing this in b&w, but the textures and warm colors of this space would have been lost.

Thanks to all for your incredibly generous comments to and reception for my "Walking on the Moon" shot from yesterday. I really appreciate the supportive creativity of the folks who make art here... so wonderful!

Love this..great lines and pov! Looks lonely! Glad you did not convert to b&w ..the tones are lovely.

Great capture, love the pov, the textures and the light

I like all the lines in the wood. And how the dune/hill in the distance is framed.

[Call me Joe]

Great capture!

[Ukandie!]

You have an eye for lines, even when some benches refuse to conform.

With a little imagination, it's easy to picture summer activities happening here again. Those upright beams are impressive!

[Kim Harper]

I bet this is a happenin place in warmer weather!!

[Susan C Clow]

Great shot of the winter time days. I can see if filled up with people. I agree about keeping it in color as it does have rich colors and textures. FAV
