Mirage at Night

For this week's Our World Tuesday entry, I'm going back to Las Vegas for a couple of night shots taken in front of the Mirage.
I liked the upwards illumination of the palm tree on the sidewalk near where I took the above photo.

    I LOVE the palm tree! Were you lying on the sidewalk right in the middle of sin city?

    There is always some magic about palms when you look up into them, whether they are lit up from below or the light shines through them from above. Thank you for sharing Al.

    The verification word is 'bustie', rather fitting for Las Vegas.

    No need for sorry and no need for perfect macros. This palm would be perfect in my eyes. Have a nice week :)

    I love that last shot too, I wonder if lights under a shrub in cold North Yorkshire would have the same effect.

    Wow, I can't quite get my head round the whole Las Vegas thing - it must make quite an impact on the senses.
