I saw this one   when looking through a history site on the town I grew up in and clearly remembered staying there after a big snow storm knocked out the power at our house for four or five days in 1973,   though taken before I was born the building looked the same when I stayed there.

So do I  they don't seem to make them on that kinda scale anymore except for places like Las Vegas.  The building is gone now torn down then something else built then that was torn down,   I think Trump built on the site last

I very much like the colours in that picture. They remind me of the 70s.

They do.
When I see pics of me from the seventies, there is a similar colour haze over it.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

But you did so embrace the nostalgia, here a movie related one just for you   :green:

 I saw the  Poseidon Adventure in this theater when I was five, it was the first real grown up movie I went to see.  My sisters were babysitting me and wanted to see it I cried when Shelley Winters died something my sisters never let me forget :-\

  A couple of years ago, I was dogsitting overnight at my boss's house, and the way the light came into the
  bedroom from the night light in the hall, relative to my position in the room, reminded me of something
  I'd long forgotten ... that I used to sleep in the room that ecventually became my brother's room.  I suddenly
  remembered what it was like, as a child of three or four, to have the light from the hall come in through
  the doorway from a different direction than it did in the room I eventually moved into.  If that makes sense.
  It's awkward to explain, but anyway, the light in the hall reminded me vividly of something I'd lost.  :)
