I took this picture last Friday on the edge of a company event. It is a well considered but simple photograph of a red tent. The white rectangle is the opposite window and the black area at the bottom of the picture is the floor of the tent.

Full album: Lytham 1940s Weekend (August 2024)
The Lytham 1940s Wartime Weekend took place between Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18, 2024.
The two day spectacle saw thousands of people re-live the 1940s wartime era with a weekend of forties singing, dancing, weapons displays, historic vehicles, military charities, vintage traders and more.
Happy World Photography Day 2024!

This is one of a series of over 25 theater marquees from California, Oregon and Massachusetts.
Fox Oakland Theater, Oakland, CA
The auditorium of the Fox Theatre has a colorful East Indian Buddhist temple gloss applied over a standard squared off Weeks & Day interior. The entry portion of the main facade takes the form of a polychrome mosaic-like shrine, with smaller lantern-topped towers on either side. Trim with a Near Eastern flavor forms the cornice line for the remainder of the building.

I took a moment to review photos taken in 2020, during the Covid year, and edited a few tonight. One picture is of Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska. To confirm, yes, this venue survived.

Thank for viewing! I received so many responses to my photo of the theater, I thought I should share a close-up of this 103-year-old neon marquee.

The lovely, old Cameo Cinema at Tollcross, which I had loved since my student days in the Long Ago.
I do like that they have retained the marquee, where the names of the current films are displayed. When I was a kid, most cinemas had a version of this, but these days most cinemas are multiplexes, so that's something that's gone, save for older cinemas like this.
I also find that feature kind of nice when I look back at older photos I've taken of the cinema over the years, because you can clearly see whatever was screening at the time I took it, so they are little time capsules.
Handheld night shot on the walk home, grabbed quickly because there is a bus stop directly outside the cinema, and I had to step back onto the road to grab this angle, then quickly back to the pavement before the traffic started again
I was finally able to get out and take some much needed photos. I noticed this guy climbing on top of the Uptown Theater. I've always wanted to go up there and take photos. It started to rain but that was OK because the Twins home opener was on the tube. Twins won 7-4 over the Orioles.
Some things in cites remains unchanged. That is the blazing brilliance of the marquees that funnel you into oldeer large theatres. The newer architecture, IMO, lacks the brilliance and audience appeals that screams . . . "Something big is happening in here."
There's something about roaming a downtown area and seeing bright pools of light that mark an entrance to a theatrical venue.
Such a one, I saw one night in my roamings in downtown Minneapolis.
