Wild Palms

I'm staying at this boutique hotel in the Bay Area. Its old, and some of the furniture and such is showing its age. But she's a quaint old beauty, and they keep her clean and neat. She has that air of old Hollywood, 1950's California chic, and much like an aging Hollywood starlet, under some soft lights, she still looks alluring.

I decided to take some shots with the night setting . . .
