Luxor Sphinx Portrait
This is a truly monumental size structure at the entrance to the Luxor Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. The Sphinx towers over the long entry, covering many drive-up lanes and exterior structures leading to the pyramid casino. I am not good at estimating height, but this is maybe about 8 stories tall. Of course I am in front in the middle of the day, shooting up. I did very little on this image for the colors were just this way. I was surprised the image came out as well as it did, making a strong graphic presence for the "king" portrayed. Member "littlerottenrobin" posted a larger view of this Sphinx in July, here.
Here is a Net image of this Sphinx (not mine) that shows a larger view. Here is another view. Now that I see these, I think my image with a point and shoot camera did pretty well, ha ha! This man has a website with MANY images from this Luxor Casino and information about it. Now I am glad that I didn't take too many other photos of the place as his are fine for the memories.
