By now most of these columns have circular signs on the little notches, but I like them this way too

I like all three of these, but there's something very unusual and likeable about the first one especially.

Well, as far as sprawling

Well, as far as sprawling commercial and leisure spaces go, Festival City is a bit unusual. It's not quite the kind of grand civic complex I'd love every city to have five of (still a mall, not an art gallery in sight, and an absolute travesty of a bookstore), but whoever designed it had some fun here and there.

This picture is an eight-second exposure; kept the camera on a railing, hence the smooth nature of the lighting (and the barely noticeable red blur to the right of the foremost umbrella -- probably a child).

The 'light name' on the home page is done similarly. Unfortunately eight seconds is as high as my compact goes, so I can't write anything more complex :-)
