dome (reflection)

The Paseo del Norte Hotel has the best bar I’ve ever seen: there’s a 45′ diameter glass dome in the ceiling, which from a certain angle you can see reflected in a piano.

There’s no reason to take my word for it: go on over to El Paso and see for yourself!

a lady always wears pearls

Yes, ladies, pearls are the proper accessory.

And, honestly, it’s hard to be more timeless and more trendy than that.

I was standing near the corner of Temple Street and Main Street, which is as good a place as any to take a photo of an out-of-business church reflected in an out-of-business business.
