just awesome -- the amazing design and decor make this a thrilling and captivating shot to behold... and that linoleum floor is just a priceless visual! bravo!!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks for the visit and comment. No linoleum floor here. The fellas that built this place went for gold: floors are stone, and I believe marble. I may be mistaken about the type of stone, but it's stone. Amazing, eh?

Cheers!

@danthro: Danthro, thanks! I just felt the detail, lighting, and mood merited color here. But how to proceed in interpreting is where I get a bit stuck. I felt this tone was adequate. Thank you again.

@Riccardo: Thanks Ricardo!! These are figments of the 'Old World' in the 'new.' Sadly, it represents the little architecture that breaks with the common utilitarian construction common in Mexico City.
