Except for the 2 cars, this photo is almost timeless ...... could have been 1975 .... could have been 1950 ... Excellent for pulling out memories .... Thanks!

Downtown America - it looks very quiet, calm and peaceful.
Cindi Smith07-Dec-2011 17:13
Oh, I like! I love this small town feel. No traffic!

Beautiful Karen, lovely scene, nice perspective and lovely Xmas ornaments. It makes me want to walk along that quiet street! V

Great shot, Karen. Like the '60s feel with the lettering. V

I think I know this intersection. The Downtown sign is colorful! Nice pov.

Great street scene. It's always amusing to me when I see hotels advertise TVs and air conditioning as amenities...are there such things as hotels without television? Or no AC? (at least anywhere where it gets over 80 degrees!)

To me, this is typical small town America. Lovely perspective down the street. V
Frank Brault07-Dec-2011 01:18
A fine point of view. Love the wreaths and lines. There is also a nice 'small town' feel to this. V
Brenda07-Dec-2011 00:33
Great photo and I love your composition (I too am struggling with the weather!).
Guest 07-Dec-2011 00:32
Very interesting shot. V.

Interesting picture - does not look a lot like you are getting "wintered" yet. Voted.
laine06-Dec-2011 23:11
I love your view to match the title...it's such an interesting POV
Stephanie06-Dec-2011 22:41
What a cool image Karen! The wreaths lead the eye down the street beautifully! V
Mairéad06-Dec-2011 22:08
Yes, this is certainly what I imagine a lot of downtown America to look like. Nice crisp colours on a bright morning. V
John King06-Dec-2011 21:46
I love this contemporary landscape. The car shapes balance with the sign and the line of Christmas wreaths seem to echo the letter "O" that is repeated in the Downtown Motel sign. V++
