    That’s beautiful. Reminds me of a theater we had close to our place in another city, decades ago, called The Plaza. It used to show only English films. I’ll never forget watching Saturday Night Fever, Scaramouche, The Duchess and the dirtwater fox, Flashdance… you know – those days.

    Can you imagine, I expected to see more photos of you? 🙂 

    Happy Sunday to you!

    Very cool old theatre.  I spelled it that way on purpose – retro spelling for a lovely retro building.

    Lovely images but it is the amazing blue sky that attracts my eye… we seem to be stuck in constant grey skies at the moment.

    Theaters built in the early 1900’s had so much character. These are wonderful shots, so vivid. Have a wonderful week.
