A visit to a small local restaurant.

After attending the school program for my youngest kid, we visited the local burger restaurant nearby and ordered some food. While waiting, I politely asked the lady at the counter if she don't mind if I take some pictures inside the restaurant. I waited for another client to come in and took this shot.

Still, while waiting for our order to arrive, I took shots of some items inside the restaurant. This one is a coin-operated vending machine. I got attracted to the vibrant red color so I took a shot.

The last one is the Salt and Pepper shaker. :D

    Typically excellent production for you, Jiro. Good composition and attention to details.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks, Tom. Your kind comments always cheers me up. :D I've been practicing on the SB-24 lately and have been making some DIY stuff for it. Maybe by next week I can post some initial work with off-camera flash. Stay tuned my friend! thumb.gif

    It's a small town burger restaurant but a lot of people dine in there usually after work because the food is great. thumb.gif

    Yes, Scootog. Texas has such diverse population that wherever you go you'd be greeted by nice individuals and unique cultures. We're happy that the small town we are in are friendly with lots of public parks. :D
