Landscapes and Manscapes
So yesterday I drove out to Lake Mead, that’s the lake behind Hoover Dam. I looked up at the sky and realized it would be pretty easy to know where Las Vegas was from here.
Anyway, I wasn’t lost so here are the pictures of Lake Mead. It’s only 30 minutes from town.
I hope you will click on these to see them larger. I just love all the colors in the rock. Then use your BACK button to return.
A lot of the scenery here just begs for a panorama.
This is Hoover Dam, formerly Boulder Dam, completed in 1936. I took this one from the nearly new bridge that allows traffic to avoid crossing the dam.
The last photo was a mixture of landscape and manscape, but the rest of these are pure manscape.
I know, the correct term is cityscape but I like the distinction between manscape and landscape.
And if it’s not obvious, this is the Vegas Strip.
The weather was perfect last night.
I walked around for 3 hours and never went into a single casino.
They just don’t interest me that much other than to look at them.
They are something to look at though.
This is the fountain show in front of the Ballagio.
The water dances to music and photos don’t do it justice.
I thought about doing a video but that’s not my forte and you probably seen one or could see one on TV.
Connie and her good friend Alice are cellebrating Alice’s 60th here at the Flamingo along with their daughters and friends.
The fountains at Caesar’s palace always make me think of Evel Knievel.
If you want to help the poor guys pay their electric bill you can just drop your donation in one of those slot machines.
