Motel

Victoria BC

I got obsessed with photographing this old Motel from the 50's, or thereabouts. Just the light and the colour and ….just something I couldn't quite put my finger on. It seemed to be freshly refurbished but was closed.

There are many nice things about this image. What I like the most is the point of view.It really emphasizes the balconies. To me it is the balconies that create the most interest in this building. V

I know what you mean Carol, the colours, the lines the patterns and the feeling from the past, it's all very striking. V

I agree. It has a very interesting retro feel with strong vertical and horizontal lines. That color and design are definitely a throwback. Wonderfully composed and executed. V

I love the framing and all the great lines and colors, especially the nice little waves on the railings. Boosting the contrast and saturation as you have done looks awesome! ~BV~

It does have a retro charm, it's easy to see why you were drawn to it. Such strong graphic quality and deep colours. Outstanding image, Carol.
