Open for business

Gruene, TX is a sleepy little town (and I mean little) that sits south of Austin, but it is a nice place and possesses a lot of historic charm.  One of the main attractions there is The Grist Mill, which is a restaurant housed in the old mill, situated above the Guadalupe River.  This shot is near the main entrance.  I just liked the tattered old look of the door and wall, with the bright "Open" sign on it.  It seemed like quite a contrast to me, as if they were trying to cover up the age of the place.  Anyways, just something that caught my eye.

This is a single exposure, taken at f/5.6 and 0ev.  I made some adjustments in PSE around Contrast and a little pop in Topaz Adjust.  If you get a chance, get down there sometime and enjoy the views over the river!
