Opulence & Fantasy

Las Vegas, Nevada

What a remarkable place Las Vegas is - visually stunning, loud, colourful, quite literally fantastic. I had mixed feelings though about all the imitation such as New York! New York! above. The whole place seemed just like a giant playground or Disneyworld for adults, and I was slightly uneasy with that...but maybe that's its attraction of course and it's me who's missing the trick...

Cool shot, love the color of the sky and the outlandish architecture. Nice with the moving cars in the foreground.

I LOVE Las Vegas. I believe "over the top" is the best description... but you have to admit, it is a paradise for the photog! Great view of NY NY!! V

Cracking shot - I felt exactly the same about Vegas the one place I wasn't fussed about going to but ended up being totally bemused and amused by the place, having come from Monument Valley to Vegas, the sublime to the ridiculous - what a hoot

Opulent and fantastical...but visually stunning...well it is to a country boy like me.

Welcome back, Doug.
