Shade

Waiting for the sun to fully emerge on the top floor; the orange light is actually from the tungsten street lamps below.

Oh wow. What a beautiful shot. Only you, Mr. Motts, can capture such a moment perfectly.

Is this a porch? It looks to me like the building wall is in teal and this might be a sun porch.

I initially assumed that was light from the sunrise. Who would have thought tungsten street lamps could be so warm and inviting.

The orange and the teal are wonderful contrasts to the drab rest of the room. Thanks Mr. Motts.

Lonely...rag shot? Why do I think of seedy hotels on the Strip with their orange glow of the lights and stripper bars on nearly every corner? Ok...maybe not on EVERY corner...lol.

I really like this picture!

The window treatments and wall coordination is just absolutely stunning. I MUST find out who their decorator is! Is this the room where they ripped everyone's teeth out?

WELCOME BACK AUTOGUY! We missed you and were wondering where you've been! :)

I can almost hear my one friend saying what you typed. He is sort of effeminate if you know what I mean, but he is a great interior decorator!! He can turn drab into fab in a heartbeat, honey. :D

Hi M25PA! I'm not so sure everyone on opacity would be missing me. ;o) I keep looking for paint that has that peeling effect for my house, but I can never find it at the store. Dead rats and body parts laying around I have already.
