Las Vegas

These are some from the Vegas trip.

Most ended up in Black and White. I didn't bring the tripod, so I shot high ISO and the noise made the color versions difficult.

This is a picture of the Las Vegas City Center project. It's amazing how huge the place is. I probably shot this from a half mile away.






























Lady Liberty from New York, New York











































From the tunnel at Balley's. This couple caught my eye.






























I liked the sign on this building. It's obvious that someone is trying to push them out. You can see how the monorail and casinos have gone up all around them.






























The last two are from the water show at the Bellagio.




Minneapolis

Here are a few from my recent trip to Minneapolis.

These first two are from the Westminister Presbyterian Church in downtown Minneapolis. I thought we were out of luck when we went and found the doors locked, but a custodian let us in and turned all the lights on for us. The church is gorgeous!

























































Besides being a good pilot, Chris is very cutting edge model! The color in this was all messed up from the stained glass, so I went B&W to salvage it.

























These kids playing at Lake Minnetonka were great! They were having a ball doing absolutely nothing by the water.
