Old style diner in Ft Myers.
OK its a reproduction Diner of the magnificent old shiny streamlined 40's & 50's type diners... but its still an extremely beautiful, complex, objet d'art. The wildest thing about these Diners is they constantly "change" visually as the day's lighting and weather changes, and oh yeah, night-time she's a Beauty too!
The delicious colors and brightness fit even more in the tropical environment here... hey, even our plants look more like real "retro" forms than up North eh?
These diner "reflections" are thoughtfully interesting because they are dual meaning; obvious stunning visual reflections.... and... warming thought or memory "reflections".... back in time 50 years ago, to a time when America was ambitiously creating its far-reaching national highway system. Now middle-class families could tour new, strange and exotic locations in their own automobiles! And these space-age looking diners helped feed them inexpensively as they adventured around the country.

Best viewed Large to get the details... she is a thing of Beauty...
my fav shot here.
This repro Retro Diner still had more life in more shots... had to do her justice and complete the series. These works have more tropical landscaping so they're not purely rigid metal & glass architectural.

Classic old retro diner look... graphically, visually stunning.
Note the suit-of-the-day; blue jeans and white t-shirts... because there's a car show outside.
