 Cafe down the street from the Vermont statehouse building, serving locals and visitors for many decades with a well deserved good reputation for blueberry pancakes, local maple syrup, lively conversation, prompt service, and cozy feeling. Although "just" an iPhone image, I consider this one of my best of 2011 for the colors, people, snow, implied set of stories, and the visual suggestion of a slower pace of life in an earlier time.

I don' know if the problem was the resizing but the outline of the people is very strange.

This scene makes me smile - a group of friends and neighbors celebrating.

Processing seems a little heavy handed here, but I like the scene. The snow outside adds to it, particularly with all of the large coffee mugs clearly visible. Nice.

It looks like an interesting place that attracts interesting group of people. I wish the shot was strong enough though in composition and editing!

I love slice of life photos. This is truly a little slice of time that is now immortalized forever.
