Thank you, Wally, Mike & Paula! #11432282Bonnie C. Lackey July 31, 2023
Just in case you wonder if anyone looks at the older POTDs, rest assured some people do. How this wasn't a winner puzzles me but I would have voted for at least a 1st place award. #12046340Chris Budny July 31, 2023
Thanks so much! :) Such a fantastic theater space! #12046342Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
