There almost is NEVER fog in Vegas until ...yesterday! You have a better chance of seeing snow here, this is the first time in 17 years I have seen fog in the Valley like this. So naturally I had go take some shots.
If you ever come to Vegas, there is hidden away parking garage for the UA Theaters between the MGM and the Coke bottle building. Go the top level and you can get a panorama like this.
More random photo's, man this place is dead. I took this at our new office months ago which was being built out at the time and applied a some filters for effect with it.
It's a fair sized city at around 3 million today, but unlike other areas such as NY, SF, or LA where urban sprawl goes on and on and on. Here once the city ends, it's nothing but big empty desert. I was surprised to learn Phoenix and Dallas have about 6 million metro area, they really sprawled during the housing boom.
More pictures just because!
Dragonflies are a pain the ass to capture when they are on the move, over 100 shots in drive mode to get 1 good shot ...and as you can see all I got was his rear view.
Indeed it does, it is a huge improvement over the roll out of D3. With the abomination of the auction house gone we now find good loot which makes for better play.
In the distance of my backyard is a mountain range known as Sloan Canyon. I did not know until about 6 months ago when I was looking to see what trails lead there that there is an estimated 1,700 ancient petroglyphs made by the native peoples between 8,000 B.C. to all the way up to 1,000 BC. So today I trekked out there to get a look at them. I didn’t know what to expect or where exactly they were, in fact I failed to find the trail a few weeks back in an earlier attempt. Today I found the trail and was I glad I went, the canyon was more than I had expected and the view was spectacular, that alone was worth the trip. As I came across more petroglyphs than I could count I became overwhelmed realizing I was looking at stories written in stone spanning 8,000 years before Christ was born.
