What a beautiful formal hall!  It looks huge - do you know the dimensions?

I don't know.   I used a really low perspective, and stitched two images together to get it, and that does make it look a little bigger than it actually is.   But you can see how people fit into the space; it's big.

Texans like big.

Is it my imagination or is there a lot of Spanish influence in the decorations here. 

Beautiful building.

Spanish, indeed.  I did a more extreme stitch to show some of the murals, which also show Mexican/Spanish influence.

You have with this just proven my point as I said in Fair Park Pool.   She does like illustrations and statues!

That's a really impressive place!  Those two people near the bottom of the mural look almost alive.
