Really gorgeous, Bob. Some of those scenes are well-photographed, but there 
is a reason for it--they are beautiful!

The only exception of the dining room, as discussed in the other thread--it 
looks over-processed to me as well. The reading room photo from the same 
hotel is great, though.

Cheers,
Nathan
