mind your depth of field
the bar at the Kettle Falls Hotel.

(exerpt) ..."the most famous aspect of the room is the floor, this buckling--which amounts to as much as an 18 inch rise in the floor in the bar--is a remnant of the architectural decay which was largely fixed with the 1986-7 renovation"
Years ago, we were told by one of the bartenders here that the buckling was because of a large boulder that the building settled around, when they fixed-up the place in 1986 they replaced each floor-board exactly where it was before. Either to keep the interesting aspect of it, or because the rock was so massive it would have been too much to move.
Shooting a game of pool on this (shortened) table is interesting, among other things :)
