Tim

I couldn't resist doing this one. I always wanted to see this lovely little store at night.

Reminds me of day's gone by when things were much easier and life was fun. I think the engine
crew stopped off for an ice cream bar or two and a cup of hot Joe.

THAT is really nice! Sorry Tim, but I think Allen has outdone you. This may be the best screenshot I've ever seen. What a neat mood that evokes.

Don't be sorry, Steve, Allen shot it on the PE route! It is a great picture. I think it could be made into a greeting card, as good as any on the market. Thank you Allen, I think it's great and I appreciate it very much, my friend.

Very beautiful, Allen! I'm almost speechless! :lol2:

Elsewhere on the P.E. route .... just kidding, of course, but the mood seems right, doesn't it?

Hi folk's

I wasn't trying to out do anybody here. I get a good shot once in awhile but I didn't want to get into a whirl'y gig over it. Tim is the master of the print screen key. I'm just a passing fancy.

And thank you for the compliment.

Rich

That bottom shot in your post? Is that really on Tim's PE route? I've seen that picture before someplace but not on anybodies route. I'm not a city boy but that picture is definitely a mood setter. "The Dirty Thirties" and 'Dick Tracy" kind of mood.

Allen :lol2:

Allen, no that's Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks at the Diner" painting done in the thirties. But believe you me, the thought did occur to me some time ago to make a scene on the route copying that iconic image. Just never carried it out. It's still a good idea though!

And thanks for the compliment! :D

Tim

Wonder how tough that wrap around the corner glass would be to simulate without making a high poly model and still make it believable. A good place for flat people stopping in for a cup of coffee or a soda maybe?

I think more than the glass would be the trim above and below it. Interesting though. It's a picture that you can look at and dream.
