'The Super Elite Airport Lounge'

Travel may mean sleeping on a floor at time and occasional interminable delays and

vicissitudes, but other times, one can be lucky enough to have a stay such as in this

super-elite airport European lounge whose location is not yet disclosed, perhaps later.

I didn't sleep the night before my all night flight, so when I arrived at this lounge, I snagged a chaise lounge and slept and availed myself of loads of fresh, hot food of good variety.  Such lounges as this always have food as a major attraction; I've flown a million miles and get access (so I'm told) for the rest of my life when traveling on the cheapest ticket internationally on member airlines.

I was attracted as were you by the colors as well as the stunning decoration, emblematic of German 'modern', which is not always so comfortable in every setting, but in this one it was.  This isn't where i rested, but it made (in my mind) a great photo.  To raters, however, it was 'average' at best, but to me, it's one of my best travel photos; the lighting was stunning to me, and the colors were original; not some camera problem with white balance.

I had an eight-hour layover, most of it spent sleeping there and eating when I awoke, and it was a very comfortable experience; one enjoyed by few travelers.  I only spent a few moments taking photos, however, the Germans are famously (or infamously) persnickety when they see a camera aimed at anything, especially in their direction and you're likely to get 'told off' by some one spouting 'laws' about privacy that are entirely inaccurate (I had German law researched and almost all citizens' beliefs about the 'taking' of photographs in public is hogwash (the showing is different however and that's where trouble arises as the public conflates the two).  

I vote Germany as the world's worst place outside of Muslim countries for taking 'street' photos in the civilized world where it involves the taking of photos including people.

The rest of Europe isn't far behind, but most of it is ignored.  That's one reason Photo.net does not have a big following in Europe at least for 'street' outside of Eastern Europe where attitudes are much more 'free' -- including Russia and famously Ukraine.

Thanks for the comment.
