Ah, yes, the old Money Store. :-) I watched it being built and it does look pretty cool all lit up.  Always thought they ought to have golden camel statues out front to complete the look.

Love your mountain pass. It's not easy to get a good sky on command up there but this has that heavy ominous feel as if you are being challenged. A very commanding shot.

And now for my second post to Exotics...

I've tried for over a year and a half to get a good shot of this place. It's difficult because it has so many components that can be highlighted. Putting them all in one shot doesn't work for the angle of things.

The club is located between 2 buildings. The "basement" of the building to the right is the inside dining area.  It is reached by walking down the stairs on the pedestrian mall to the patio. The plants and fountains on the patio are charming and they always seem to have some some live entertainment going on in the evening.

I don't know why I keep going back to photograph this place.  It's just that the whole concept fascinates me. There are a few similar eateries in Old Sacramento, but they are more for the tourists (and charge big prices for average fare with more "standard" entertainment on weekends only).
