Tourist Trap: New Smyrna Beach

I continue to be fascinated by the "art" employed at various commercial establishments intended to increase business. I have nothing against efforts to lure customers, and in fact am entertained by much of it, truth to be told. The establishment in the picture is a parking lot away from the nice beach, and sells pretty much every kind of touristy stuff you would expect, along with serving ice cream (despite the fact that there's quite a nice little ice cream joint just across the street), doing henna tattoos, and renting little beach buggies. For those interested, this image was processed with Photomatix from a single exposure RAW file. It is thus a "pseudo HDR."
