Something a bit different. My wife and I just returned from a four day respite (can Vegas be restful?) in Las Vegas. Not a whole lot of "nature" opportunities to shoot there, but a lot of photo ops nonetheless. The past year has been rather busy for us with two weddings in six months (youngest son and daughter) so we decided to have some fun and head west. Since neither of us gamble we spent our time sight seeing (Hoover Dam, etc.), shopping and fooding. People watching here is incredible too!
I spent my entire working career in the construction industry, so I have always had a fascination for the hotels and casinos along the Strip. Our last trip to Vegas was in the '90's so much has changed. This shot is looking back at one of the hotel towers at Caesar's Palace from in front of the fountain pools at the Bellagio. I don't have a tilt-shift lens, but the perspective control in Lightroom is pretty amazing!
This is a golden image of Julius Caesar, who is crowned with a laurel wreath on the casino wall of Caesars Southern Indiana. Back in the day, the Roman Republic may have hated kings but Roman Plebeians sure loved their Emporer.

Caesar shows us his best Tango dance in the streets of gorgeous downtown Newburyport. In an interview after his legendary jig, Caesar commented: 'They always say it takes two to Tango. Well.. Not Today.'
Caesar our cane corso has really started to show his age this past year (or so). Even now he never stops "guarding" his mom. He follows her around and always places himself behind her looking out to make sure no sneaks up on her.

This was Caesar not long after he was brought home. Man he was trouble, one time while we were out I came home to find him in the kitchen cupboard where the kitty treats resided, he was sitting on the plates, and Miss Kitty was on the floor eating all that had fallen out of the bag.
Full of personality.
I've been dying to post for Caturday and I'm just getting to it, so happy Caturday, a wee bit early !
The trail from the Visitor's Center goes 2.7 miles along the lake shore to the Day Lodge We walked back along the road and shortened this considerably. A bit windy but no snow...darn.

Caesars Palace is a AAA Four Diamond luxury hotel and casino in Paradise, Nevada, United States, situated on the west side of the Las Vegas Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage. The Palace was established in 1966 by Jay Sarno, who sought to create an opulent facility that gave guests a sense of life during the Roman Empire. It contains many statues, columns and iconography typical of Hollywood Roman period productions, including a 20 foot (6.1 m) statue of Julius Caesar near the entrance. Caesars Palace is now owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corporation. As of 2015, the hotel has 3,960 rooms and suites in six towers and a convention facility of over 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2). The hotel has a very large range of restaurants, including several serving authentic Chinese cuisine to cater to the wealthy East Asian gamblers.
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Caesars features 3,348 rooms in five towers and is considered the Vegas flagship property of its owner, Harrah's Entertainment.
History: The hotel dates back to 1962, when Jay Sarno, a cabana motel owner, used US$10 million that had been lent to him by the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund to begin plans for a hotel on land owned by Kirk Kerkorian. Sarno would later act as designer and building of the 14-story hotel began in 1962. That first tower featured 680 rooms
Sarno struggled to decide on a name for the hotel. He finally decided to call it Caesars Palace because he thought that the name Caesar would evoke thoughts of royalty because of Roman general Julius Caesar. Sarno felt that guests should feel they were at a king's home while at his hotel. It is called "Caesars" and not "Caesar's" because every guest is a Caesar. Caesars Palace was one of the first Vegas resort to use themeing that would ultimately become very prevelant in Las Vegas hotel design. Source: Wiki

A hole in the lava - which was quite sharp and I needed to be careful not to drop Caesar, as it was a long way down on the other side.

Rome wasn't built in a day...Caesars Palace opened in 1966 and continues to reinvent itself.
