Paul, Thanks for the response. I guess, the age can be added this way: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/retro/IMGP0799-2.jpg Is this what you had in mind?
As for the balcony, - it cannot be leveled - I had considered this. You see how the floor lines (and the orchestra lines) are converging the other way? The reason I am considering the vertical photo is because of the chandelier. I think the decor of the balcony (and even the structure of it) also adds to the atmosphere. I would be curious to hear what others think. Thanks for looking, Igor Mon Feb 18 15:58:51 EST 2008 pnstenquist wrote: > I like the horizontal one, the first one.
