“Can I please get a skinny CDL @ 130″…just what the heck is a 130° SKCDL? Well, it’s  a yummy drink from Starbucks, a Skinny (skinny is non-fat milk, sugary free syrup) Cinnamon Dolce Latte at 130 degrees (colder than normal)! Meh, what can I say but I like my hot drinks…cold’ish! 😛  I was down at Pike Place Market in Seattle the other day for an hour or two shooting for this weeks theme (which will be the market) and stopped off at the very fist Startbucks store (located in the market) which was established in 1971. If you go on the weekends, it’s usually packed to the rim and out the door so I was rather pleased that I was able to waltz right in and order my drink!

About this shot, I had put my cup down to shoot some other items (which actually turned out a little boring) and as I was getting ready to move on…looked down, ohhh, nice!

And here’s the sign that hangs just outside the store. In Photoshop, played with curves, colour balance & brightness/contrast layers then threw on a texture. Hope you like and of course…

…Enjoy!
