With a multi-capture HDR I'd have been able to get a much crisper shot of the moon. As it is, I'm quite happy with the sharpness given this was hand held at a shutter speed of 0.4 seconds after two glasses of wine!

You can get a hint of the architecture in this historic hotel from this image. The wooden structure on the left is actually a bird cage. There were a number of colorful small birds within both this enclosure and a similar one on the other side of the lobby. As mentioned before, I'm not an ornithologist so I'll just stick with 'birds'.
