Thank you sweetheart, I'm glad you like these! It's an eye I've been developing (no pun intended) for a long time and am only finally putting to good use for my own art instead of someone else's.
And there is so much to see in Providence! I discovered a lot on this trip I'd never seen before and went to parts of town I'd never been - like this hotel.
My friend Kendra said she's stay at the hotel again and I can see why. It's far more intimate. elegant and historic than the newer and very pretty but relatively characterless Omni just up the street, in the midst of the convention center traffic. This one is slightly old-world in it's intimacy, overlooking the part downtown.
I would have loved to have gotten really close to that ceiling and even touched it for myself. It's mos likely painted plaster? But it looks like bronze in that light.
THANK YOU for sharing this beauty and for taking these pictures! I love that postcard you created! You truly captured the elegance of this place. I feel as though I've been there.
Also, I love the perspective in that first photo! Yowza!

*faints with joy* Thank you, that's exactly what I hoped to accomplish! (My friend Kendra has already seen these btw and was also very appreciative. I get so much from my dear friends, so here's one small way I can give back.

this pleases me greatly. :D I was going to put the postcard one first but I figured - rightly - that the angles of other were more dynamic. My sweetie asked me if I'd made a mistake and was I going to straighten it.
I'm very glad of that! I've truly enjoyed your photographs and would really love to see more - they're closest I'm likely to come to visiting England, and you have a wonderful eye for vistas especially, for the "long shot". I wonder if this is related to the fact that I admire your icons that show "long shots" and wide views with great clarity?
It was well worth the trip - and I'm glad my friend recommended it, in the 10+ years I've lived in this area I'd never thought to visit it before. But that's one of the things I love about Providence, RI : surprises at every turn, and every type of architecture from pre-colonial to post-modern.

I really must dig my camera to do some "proper" photography .... thanks for those views, and inspiration!
