In this set I used Negative and HDR to mess these photos up! I need to visit Hoover Dam soon before it gets too hot.

Concrete -vs- Water 2
Here is round two of 35mm photos taken this morning. Not much need for the spillway or detention basin today…
The View
This 35mm photo gives you an idea of the size of this valley, there’s much more of it behind me. The two distant buildings are the Queens Ridge condominiums at the corner of Alta and Rampart roads.
Concrete -vs- Water
In time water will be victorious as water is the universal solvent. Beyond this concrete jungle lies a large detention basin, one part of a very large network of them in various sizes and configurations, designed to control the massive volumes of water that can come crashing down from these nearby mountains. There are residential neighborhoods directly across the street from this concrete monster, I would never purchase a home here!

All Things End…
My Chicken Soup
Yesterday I suddenly felt like some chicken soup so to the grocer I went. I changed this pot up a bit by adding double the carrots and one entire sweet onion. Maybe corn would work too, or another veggie but the flavor is just so good that I actually had three bowls this morning! Maybe some Chili for lunch? Stop on by won’t ya, have a bite?
Blue Skies
Blue sky is abundant this sunny morning. 🌞🌴
The Bounce Factor
If I remember correctly, the SEO creeps and others refer to visitors to a website that leave immediately as a Bounce. Well, I’m a seriously major bounce in this case. Why? When searching for whatever the items may be, I am often smacked upside the head with differently worded requests to disable my ad blockers.
Others force me to leave in my not forcing the Disable request to disappear with a page refresh. Bye.
Close browser window. That’s not gonna happen, ad lovers. Not at my expense. Advertising in it’s many forms are in my opinion the scourge of the internet, radio and television broadcasting platforms. Find other ways of funding yourselves folks, or just shut down. And then, it seems most stations apparently all go to ads simultaneously?
SHUT. UP.
There and Not
I don’t like these random photos in color, they look better this way. 😎
Eastbound on Kyle Canyon Road
These are leftover photos from the ride up the mountain a few days ago now. Going Down!
Spear Fishing
I have plenty of old and antique silverware in the kitchen so I decided to grab this old spear and get to work! 😂
When The Smog Blew Away…
Las Vegas had a dandy windstorm yesterday, these photos aren’t from then but you can see that the damned smog has been blown clean out of the valley in a different storm. The city looks so much better!
Desert to City
Deserted Black and White
Desolate, deserted and useless. At some point, I believe that we all arrive at this point of desolation in our lives.
Fresh Coffee
Here’s another time-lapse video I made early today of Mr. Coffee making that first cup. Actually it was a one cup day, sometimes I vacuum down just one cuppa. This time I popped the iPhone on one of my miniature tripods to eliminate the jitter caused by holding on to the device, in any case the coffee was perfect. Thanks, Mr. Coffee. 😂
