Stratosphere and moon, Las Vegas, Nevada
An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows, but in addition sees something else: the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows. Anonymous

Holy crap! That is one hell of a camera. In the large version I can make out a star… actually.. I would say it’s most likely a planet… Venus. Was the picture taken just after sunset?
Wonderful!
the pictures nice and I LOVE the quote –Margot
Where do you find these perfect quotes?
This is the best way to see Vegas, in my opinion.
I remember when we took shots of this. I have mine someplace. The stratosphere looks a little like the spacecraft in “E. T.”, doesn’t it? Like it’s hovering.
You made a memory for me tonight. We had fun, didn’t we?
yep mom, we did
i’m getting a “close encounters” vibe…where’s my clay, i’m making a giant tower in my living room!
Beautiful picture. I love how the stratosphere seems taller than the moon hangs, but at the same time it looks like the moon is looking down at it. Beautiful.
That picture has an otherworldly feeling to it. Perfect juxtaposition of subjects.
The quote is intriguing.It’s something to consider & incorporate into one’s thinking.
Out of this world! :sunny: :goodjob:
perfect cresent.
Very distinct lights. Mine are usually blurry or not as clear. Props for that.
Night photography at its best:goodjob:
The quote is awesome and very true, it also matches the picture so well
The stratosphere hotel sure stands out in Vegas.
Cheers

It’s a nice picture but I really get stuck in the darkness. Which makes me… well, I kind of knew that already.
And yes, “some girls are bigger than others” is a remarkable song, just cause you mentioned it I’ve been humming it all day. ”Hand in glove” is another favourite. And “Panic”.
I’m speechless. I just love your site. The amazing photos and quotes….yup. Love it. :heartbeat:
I absolutely adore how you place a caption with each picture. The two go wonderfully hand-in-hand.
