Like all those straight lines and oblongs, the ornate façade . The environment with the ladies and gentlemen on the grown floor, I wonder if you get elevated to be a statue on the upper levels after a time.

Thanks, Julian. I was at a loss for what to call this one. I was imagining the gods above watching us. But I couldn't think of anything witty, so "Cafe Society" it is...

It does have a bygone age feel about it, some to do with the architecture, but also something about privilege although I suspect it is open to anyone.
The title is good. spot on.

A great shot Rob, is it in Edinburgh? There's something to it which I can't explain, but the black and white work is excellent. I think I mentioned thsat before. Won't happen again.

Please mention it as many times as you wish Yes, it is in Edinburgh, in the National Museum of Scotland. Wonderful place, which I have photographed many times.

Perhaps next time I'm back I'll get a chance to visit there Rob. You've shot some fabulous foties in that local. This one included. (I love how the statues on the 2nd flair "pop" out.)
I cannae wait tae see the place wi' my ain eyes. (And tak' some foties of course!

Cheers, Brian. You just have to avoid the ground floor, which is full of mum's pushing around prams full of screaming bairns. They tend to stay on that level, as, I admit, I used to when pushing Rhona around in her pram. But the rest of the place is magnificent and quiet.

That works brilliantly Rob and I like the concept withe the calm over the chaotic. Nice.

Thanks, Pete. I darkened the plebs, and allowed the gods to come through. Got to get on their side somehow!
