Hi Eleu,
Good management of light and colours, which gives a good result with the bright red parasols and the funny car on the roof.
This is definely a place owned by Coca-Cola :-))
Thanks for sharing and have a good Sunday !
Best regards.
Marie-Louise.

Kind regards

Hello Eleu,

The red makes the day on this image. I also like this old gas pump that reminds me of old days and cheap prices. The light is very good and the sharpness is excellent.

Best regards

Hello Eleu
So, no winter tourism in Arizona then? Very well mastered winter shot. Pictures of snow are never easy to take.
Love the contrast between the white snow and the red umbrellas.
But what is ist with Americans and cars on their roofs? I remember having seen that countless times over there.
have a good day
Daniel
