The Las Vegas strip at night is a very interesting place...so much to shoot, but difficult to keep people out of the shots a lot of the time.
i didn't think it was fair to take logan and not caesar to this place so we went today.
(logan was not happy about being left behind.)
we went earlier so i didn't get the nice reflections on the water but i still think this is nice, considering he doesn't pose like logan does and i can't let him offleash. you can see he's about ready to take off after some geese, LOL
this is two photos stitched together and cross processed, which is a process done in the dark room with film but it can be recreated with digital processing...i just like how it looks.

here's how paint shop pro defines it:
cross-process is a modern photography technique that creates uinque colour effects by mismatching the film and chemicals used to develop the film. for example; you can achieve this effect by processing slide film in chemicals designed for colour negative film.
Folkestone Castle stood on a spur of the North Downs to the north of the town of Folkestone. The Norman castle was positioned on a natural mound which existed in the late 11th and 12th centuries. It was excavated in 1878 by Augustus Pitt Rivers and this has been claimed to be the first excavation of a medieval site in Britain using scientific methods.
Known locally as "Caesar's Camp", it is not actually Roman at all, but was probably constructed as early as 1095 and was certainly occupied for some time following the Norman invasion. The hill on which it stands is known as Castle Hill and it affords splendid views over the town and coast, from Folkestone across Romney Marsh to Dungeness, Rye and Fairlight. The earthworks now overlook the M20 motorway and the entrance to the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton.
I have been meaning to walk up this hill for several years now and am glad that I finally made the effort just before sunset. I will visit again! This is a 5 shot panorama taken with my trusty 35mm prime.
The Forum of Caesar, also known as Forum Iulium or Forum Julium, Forum Caesaris, is a forum built by Augustus Caesar near the Forum Romanum in Rome in 46 BC.

The Erawan Shrine (or Shrine of the Four-Faced Brahma) at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, was built in 1984 and is a replica of the original in Bangkok, Thailand. It was donated by newspaper tycoons Mr. and Mrs. Kamphol Vacharaphol and Mr. Yip Hon, a prominent figure in Hong Kong and is considered a Hindu holy site. Visitors express gratitude for wishes granted by offering flowers, incense, money (which Caesars donates to charities in Thailand) or by placing small wooden elephants upon the shrine.

In 1962, cabana motel owners Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin applied for a $10.6 million loan from the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund. He began plans to build a hotel on land owned by Kirk Kerkorian. Sarno would later act as designer of the hotel he planned to construct. His vision was to emulate life under the Roman Empire. The objective of the palace was to ensure an atmosphere in which everybody staying at the hotel would feel like a Caesar; this is why the name "Caesars Palace" lacks an apostrophe, making "Caesars" a plural instead of possessive noun. Caesars Palace was instrumental in beginning a new era of lavish casinos from the late 1960s onward. The original hotel was designed by architect Melvin Grossman (1914–2003), who had worked primarily in Miami. The design of Caesars borrowed heavily from Grossman's Cabaña Hotel (1962) in Palo Alto. Architectural writer, Alan Hess, stated: "Caesars Palace needed only a sumptuous array of Classical statuary and a host of marble-white columns to establish its theme. The visitor's imagination, in league with well-placed publicity, filled in the opulence". Jefferson Graham wrote that the result was "the gaudiest, weirdest, most elaborate, and most talked about resort Vegas had ever seen. [Its] emblem was a chesty female dipping grapes into the waiting mouth of a recumbent Roman, fitted out in toga, laurel wreath, and phallic dagger".
