I guess I meant I hadn't seen it so empty. These are just fabulous, Kurt. I especially love the second one above. All the ones of the full moon are stunning!

Love the kitchen shot. We too often forget about all of the people behind the scenes who make our delicious meals possible. The prep cooks, line cooks, dishwashers, etc. Thanks to the guys and gals in the back!
I really, really like this batch of photos, Kurt. Merman and I take a walk to Seaside nearly every night when we're in SoWal. It's only a mile from our condo so it's become our regular route, a nice quick relaxing walk. What you've taken photos of is the Seaside we see late in the evening when everything is quiet and shuttered. It's an entirely different view, one that most people never bother to give a second glance.
This is what I think distinguishes you from other photographers who also take shots of gorgeous places: it's the ability to capture ordinary slices of life that are always there but go largely unseen and unheralded. Think of it--there are dozens upon dozens of shots of the plaza and shops and restaurants in all their sun-bathed glory, with animated visitors enjoying the scene. And how many of the plaza with the umbrellas pulled down, adirondack chairs empty, dark, silent, and still? It's a different kind of photograph that you take. Your introspection and curious eye is what I think makes you a great photographer.
