However, I didn\u2019t get a chance to use the manual lift because I think we went in the late evening and the attendant has already left. Sigh\u2026 But nevertheless, there is quite a diverse group of graphic designers, fashion designers, jewelers, painters and artists there, displaying and selling their masterpieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/manual-lift-system21.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Manual and Automatic Lift System\" class=\"wp-image-14\" title=\"Manual Lift System\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/manual-lift-system41.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Manual Lift System\" class=\"wp-image-20\" title=\"Manual Lift System\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lift System with manual and automatic functions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/manual-lift-system5.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Manual Lift System5\" class=\"wp-image-22\" title=\"Manual Lift System5\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lift Interior (automatic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/staircase1.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Staircase1\" class=\"wp-image-23\" title=\"Staircase1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/staircase2.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Staircase2\" class=\"wp-image-24\" title=\"Staircase2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/staircase3.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Staircase3\" class=\"wp-image-25\" title=\"Staircase3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/staircase4.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Staircase4\" class=\"wp-image-26\" title=\"Staircase4\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesser.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/staircase7.jpg?w=406\" alt=\"Staircase7\" class=\"wp-image-29\" title=\"Staircase7\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I find the staircase interesting and people walking on it a nice subject to shoot.
