Beautiful; beyond words. Lighting gives very mystic, trance feeling.

Armando - that building is the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, OR.  At first I did not really like the shape, but it has really grown on me over time.  I should start a thread on that building, it is a recurring subject for me :)

Matching the colors with Water Melon Mojitos?   8)
I like the non-symmetry balancing. And the color schema.

already posted in a different place. Nice lights stars on board were as good as food and drinks  :D

Thanks Anirban, personally I think it would be better with a little more room at the sides but the Mojitos thought differently at the time ;D

Jan, this looks nicely stoned.  :D  I'm curious about the location.  Is this just a decoration on a sea shore, or does it have a serious Buddhistic meaning?

Thanks, Armando.

Purely decorative at a beach club 30 clicks above Barcelona, a friend of mine lives there whom I visit usually a few times a year (though not this year somehow).

Btw, on the left side of the image you can see a fishing rod stuck in the sand, the light on top alerts the lazy fisherman something is taking off with the bait.

Ja, thanks for the details.  I like the taste of the decoration as well as that of your image.

Light stars occur more frequently than one might imagine.

A light star can even become one of main motives...
