Viewing the Bellagio Water Show

No matter how times i see this water show, it never gets old or dull to me. Something about this view interests me greatly. I think its about captivating the energy & the performance of the water show itself. This view from the Bellagio is great to me because of the people below watching in the bottom of the photo.

Inspired by the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy, Bellagio is famed for its elegance. One of its most notable features is an 8-acre (3.2 ha) lake between the building and the Strip, which houses the Fountains of Bellagio, a large dancing water fountain synchronized to music.

The Fountains of Bellagio is a vast, choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music. (See musical fountain.) The performances take place in front of the Bellagio hotel and are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and neighboring structures. The show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. to midnight. Before a water show starts, the nozzles break the water surface and the lights illuminating the hotel tower turn to a purple hue (usually), or red-white-and-blue for certain music. Shows may be cancelled without warning because of wind, although shows usually run with less power in face of wind; a single show may be skipped to avoid interference with a planned event. The fountain display is choreographed to various pieces of music, including songs by Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, and Gene Kelly.

Oh no, Not Another Canyon Shot

Red Rock Canyon is one of those magical creations of mother nature. The energy is relaxing & offers a great escape from the busy 24hr activities of the Las Vegas atmosphere. Red Rock has a ton of trails for hiking & bike riding. I personally enjoy the peacefulness & the photography experience of capturing this great landscape during my existence in this lifetime.

Here is some more Geology info about Red Rock..

The Red Rock Area has a complex geological history, which over millions of years, helped to create the dramatic landscape that characterizes the region.

Sunset Park is one of the parks here in Vegas i stop at from time to time. I enjoy the serenity of this park with the lake & different species of fowl. I enjoy nature a lot so this is a perfect fit for me to take a walk and think about things or projects that I'm working on.

Don't you hate when this happens! Trust me, when the lil mouse ball starts acting up in the blackberry, save yourself some headache & grab a another right away. Now you have 2 options here.... 1.) You could purchase another mouse ball from some online site like Ebay for example. As a matter of fact, you can buy an entire housing for your blackberry. And if you really wanted to get creative with it, you can customize your housing as well. Option 2.) Simply get another Blackberry! lol.. I chose to do option 2.

This is a shot of my old blackberry that i gave the name "Brokeberry" to!

Valley of Fire


Valley of Fire, originally uploaded by Darius Goins.
The Valley of Fire derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs, 150 million years ago. Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. Other important rock formations include limestones, shales, and conglomerates. Prehistoric users of the Valley of Fire included the Basket Maker people and later the Anasazi Pueblo farmers from the nearby fertile Moapa Valley. The span of approximate occupation has been dated from 300 B.C. to 1150 A.D. Their visits probably involved hunting, food gathering, and religious ceremonies, although scarcity of water would have limited the length of their stay. Fine examples of rock art left by these ancient peoples can be found at several sites within the park.

This video was shot entirely with the Pentax K-7 DSLR camera with in camera HD Video. Definitely my next weapon. I currently shoot with the K20d, which lacks in camera video options.
