At the Grand

At the very beginning of our Friday walk, I stopped to take this photo of the courtyard and [unused] entrance to The Grand Hotel with the still pristine, blanket of overnight snow covering the ground.

The owner/manager chanced by and invited us to come inside, wet boots and all, to look around and take some pictures. The small downstairs restaurant has just been converted to a bar lounge, so it was new to us and would be to most townsfolk. My little compact camera had its work cut out in the low light, but it did its best, and some editing in Lightroom also helped.

Upstairs was all set up for a wedding rehearsal dinner that evening. I am supposing that some of the ensemble would be staying in the hotel part of the establishment for a night or two..

It was a pleasant, little visit, providing us with something different in our otherwise repetitive winter walks, and I think the brave, little camera did well enough.
