Postcard from Morro Bay

This is one of those unique architectural features I love to photograph when I find them. This is an old movie theater that was recently restored, but still remains empty. Sadly, it was arguably the most interesting object in Morro Bay to photograph. Even the beaches there are boring, photographically speaking.

I believe the design of this building would labeled “Art Deco.” Whatever its name, it is certainly unique. Wikipedia describes this style as “…an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.”

That sounds about right to me. I have a couple of more images from this building I will share with you in the near future.
