Las Vegas!!


Posting my photos will take a bit of time this week, because I just got back from Las Vegas. (Wow. Part nightmare, part fun house.)

I took my big camera, and processing photos from that takes lots longer than the ones I take with my cell phone. I did snap a bunch of shots with the cell phone, too, though. Here's a couple. See that lovely summer sky? It's fake! This is taken inside the Miracle Mile shopping mall, which adjoins Planet Hollywood, where we stayed. See in the top right photo how the sky's starting to look dark? That's because shortly it's going to rain directly over a pool in the middle of one aisle. The sky darkens, lightning flashes, thunder booms, and it rains. But not a drop will stray over the edge of the pool.  The pool in the photo below is NOT the thunderstorm pool. 

This pool (below) has a fountain that runs through its display of color and light every half hour. The sky is still fake.  And the lovely Moorish structure houses a cheeseburger shop!





more to come....
