Very nice colour palette across all those photos. That is indeed a nice structure, and a shame to lose it.
I like the motel cabin too - I stayed in something like that, only much shabbier, somewhere in Ethiopia and it seemed like a very practical, functional design. I note the bait shop has something outside to attract customers. Philosophically speaking I suppose that is meta-bait. If the owners decided to put up some motel cabins they could call it Baits Motel. > On 8 Apr 2021, at 05:54, Daniel J.
