23-MAY-04 BEACH-GATE

Down on the Boardwalk
A gate to an outdoor cafe

Maintenance was out sprucing up & painting items in the early morning
Much before the tourists were out buzzing
(It's amazing what happens at the Oceanfront in the hours just before & after dawn)

Before they got this gate for touch ups I took a quick snap
In P/S used color balance & waterpainting filter

"From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be"
The Drifters

Olympus C-740UZ
aperture priority; f 4.5; ISO 100; 1/30 full exif

I love the Bruce Willis version of this great song. Love the effect you have given a simple gate. Glenda

very well done, Pete. I like the use of the paining effect.

Nicely done. I like how there's just a little glimpse of the cafe through the gate. Makes me want to sit down and have some coffee in there :)
