I took this shot in a bar in New York. It looked like the best seat in the house, but it was empty.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! and thanks for telling us the circumstances when you took it. It's a photo that could be the inspiration for a story.
ReplyDeleteOooh, so mysterious and intriguing. I'm glad you shared where this was taken. Location makes all the difference. I agree - there could certainly be a very interesting story behind this. Great shot!!
ReplyDeleteI would not have guessed a bar. very mysterious.
ReplyDeleteCan I just curl up right there, with a book? Even though it's in a bar, it just looks so cozy! I love the lighting and composition, great shot.
ReplyDeleteI could picture some old reclusive man, sitting in that chair reading a book. (What a great shot).
ReplyDeletenice shot
ReplyDeleteI was imagining that it was a beloved reading spot for a jailer.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying not to think too much about the fact that the chair looks like a great spot for reading and that the chair is empty.
Here's my Wordless Wednesday. I hope you will stop by.
I love atmospheric shots, and this has plenty! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBased on the "guest list" you tweeted, I would have guessed Muffie and Stuffie's (or whatever that place was called!)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember you taking the shot ... and it looks so EMPTY in the place. Very unexpected.
I didn't even notice that chair! You have a good eye :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing I wasn't there. I love the light in the photo!
ReplyDeleteMight be my fave Beth F photo.
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought a bar, looks like a great place to curl up with a book. And a Cosmo?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
Looks like a great place to read a book!
ReplyDeleteAmazing picture!! And I'm with Dawn - I can't remember the name of the place, so I will hilariously call it Muffie's and Stuffie's as well!!
ReplyDeleteVery inviting spot for a bit of a read and a glass of wine. I've been known to read in bars, but they are mostly too dark or too loud or both.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot! It has such a lonely look.
ReplyDeleteOooh...I really like this one!
ReplyDeleteOh my, oh my ... I could write a short story just from the ideas that fantastic shot evokes!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and welcoming!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a great place to curl up with a book.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, how I wish this spot was in my house! What an awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteVery inviting. A nice place to listen to music.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture of light. Wonderful mood.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot. I would never have guessed it's in a bar.
ReplyDeleteIt looks sad. I never would have guessed it was in a bar.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a great atmospheric shot. :) Looks like a great place to ensconce yourself with a great book and a nice glass of single malt. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it. Moody and mysterious writing could be done there.
ReplyDeleteIt DOES look like it would be the best seat in the place! Oh wow I like this picture. I could never tell the guy in the picture that is my WW, but I think I like yours even better than mine. :-o
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the kind of place I like to be once the sun goes down. As for the Wienermobile, they told me there are several of them still running around the country. I too thought they were history, but proof to the contrary showed up right in my Reno neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! What a great find.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool shot! I am sure there is a story in that picture (if only I weren´t so busy preparing exams.....)
ReplyDeleteDark and mysterious! I just love the lighting. Great find.
ReplyDeleteThis is a photo that could launch all kinds of short stories!
ReplyDeleteI like! Looks nice, cozy and warm...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it would make a fantastic book cover! Great shot.
