Soda Stools
Uploaded: February 06, 2007 04:08:26
Inside Union Station, Omaha NE, which is now called the Durham Western Heritage Museum. Folks can step back in time with a visit to the old-fashioned 1931 Soda Fountain, complete with milk shakes, sundaes, malts and phosphates.
In this picture, several young girls were having a refreshing treat. I added a little grain. Thanks Linda for the hot spot advice and to Gail for the idea to retain the red colors of the stools!!
F4, 1/60 sec, ISO 1600, 50mm focal length.
