Nice, but it looks over processed, more like a table top model, say for an

Hi PJ,
I assume that you know that "Pullman Square" refers to the railroad
industry? People in Huntington are very fond of railroad imagery and
themes. The design of many features of this town square are intended to
echo a railroad theme, so it's not too surprising that you found some
resemblance to a model railroad. ;-)
However, if you want to see real scale models of the area, click here:

I hope you agree that my image looks far more realistic than scale models. ;-)
Also, if you want to see the JPEG version of my original image
(caution: it's large), click here:

This version is pretty much unprocessed, except for conversion from Pentax
RAW format.
take care,
Glen
