Tokyo At Night (2)

This is the last of my photos from last year's trip to Japan, a dizzying night-time perspective taken with my ultra-wide fisheye lens.

Tokyo Streets

For Our World Tuesday, here are a few random Tokyo street scenes.

Vegas!

For Our World Tuesday, a few cellphone shots of the Las Vegas Strip as we wandered around (we stayed one night to break up the drive to Los Angeles). It's Paris in the desert!

Here's the famous Bellagio.

The Mirage is always nice to see.

And finally, a random fountain near the Wynn.

Night Concert

Here's a photo I took with my cell phone at last Friday's concert at Red Rocks.

Cloudy Atlanta Building

I know it's not a great shot, but here's a shot of a cloudy Atlanta building at night.

Merry Christmas!

To all my readers who celebrate it, a very Merry Christmas! Some houses in my town go all-out to decorate for the holidays.

These photos were captured last week after a fresh snowfall in extremely cold temperatures.

I love seeing these seasonal decorations each year.

And here's the obligatory unfocused art-shot.

Aria, Las Vegas

These photos are from a few months ago when we took a short trip to Vegas. Here's the Aria hotel where we stayed. First, looking out the main entrance.

One of the advertising signs.

Lots of glass...

...and I'm bet that the signs are LED rather than neon.

Looking Up At One World Trade Center

This is one of my favorite photos from my latest trip to New York City - I wandered around the World Trade Center area after I came down from the top of the building and this was one of the shots I took.

Nighttime World Trade Center Views

Here are my favorite photos from the top of One World Trade Center a few weeks ago; all were taken hand-held through the building's glass. The city lights seem to go on forever.

The classic view is to the north with the Empire State Building standing out.

Every way you look there's something interesting.

As it's on the island of Manhattan there is water in every direction.

To the south is the Upper Bay, at the end of which is the famous Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, seen here. Beyond that is the Lower Bay and finally the Atlantic Ocean.

I hope you enjoyed this little tour for the Our World Tuesday meme.

Night in NYC

Just a couple of random nighttime shots of New York from my last visit there for the Our World Tuesday meme.

NYC At Night

I recently traveled to New York City for a job interview. I didn't have much spare time but did manage to snap a couple of photos walking around at night - here's a construction zone.

I always like seeing the towers.

By the way, I got the job; I'll be starting in a couple of weeks. I don't have to move so I'll continue to live here in beautiful Colorado.

Kansas City & Union Station

The Kansas City metropolitan area is split between the states of Kansas and Missouri, and when you're visiting you will switch back many times, often without noticing. Here's the downtown Kansas City skyline, taken from the Missouri side.

And some photos of the well-known Union Station; again this is on the Missouri side.

NYC Night 1978

Here's another of my photos from New York in 1978. This one's a little rough as it was taken without a tripod at night on a film camera, but I did what I could with it.
