The story behind the image
We had arrived on a Saturday in Las Vegas. In the late afternoon we started to explore the famous Las Vegas Strip with its countless hotels, casinos and restaurants.
My photo shows the Bellagio that overtowers the boulevard. I like this image because the boulevard looks unexpectatly small and not as wide as it really is. The palm trees make it look more like Palm Springs. And the light of the late afternoon sun dips the scene into warm hues.
This image, by the way, would be impossible to shoot today, because new buildings block this specific view. But I guess this is the norm for an ever changing city like Las Vegas.
While Las Vegas does not belong to my preferred destinations in the world, I like the dynamic and vibrance of the city, especially at night.
