Photo Hunt #54: Electric


vegas, originally uploaded by M'roy.

We were driving around Vegas in search of a place to dine when I spotted these electric posts. I thought I'd take a shot in case I would run a series on electric posts later. I have always loved looking at them in tandem with skywatching. So here's my dusk shot of a different Vegas.

PHOTO HUNT is hosted by TNCHICK.

It's a very cool looking shot. Makes them look much more artistic than they look in real life around here.

Have a nice weekend.

That's a beautiful shot. They almost look like a ship together like that. Happy weekend.

Stunning. I suppose you need a lot of electricity to power all those slots.

This shot is amazing! Good job!

You almost never see photos of Vegas at dusk/nightfall, without the lights on, so this is indeed a different Vegas. Great job!

YTSL said...

Wonderful shot. It's beautiful and, at the same time, gets me thinking of the huge amount of electricity Las Vegas consumes!

Sidney said...

There is something very similar to that in the Philippines... forgot the place... I first thought it was taken in the Philippines.

Love the subdued colors here! Well done !

Lovely photo! So much power running through those wires!

Happy weekend :)

For a 24-hour city of fun, Las Vegas does need all that power!

witsandnuts said...

That's a synchronized wiring. Thinking about the scary wiring in the Philippines.

Very cool shot of the wires high up!

Luke said...

Certainly there's a need for all that energy there.

Nicely done electric wires, unlike the ever chaotic PI wires, heheh...love the light glow of sunset too. Have a nice weekend to you too.

Dianne said...

That is a cool shot and it does look like a ship's masts. Goes to show how much power that city needs!

Great shot! It's kind of surreal and foreboding, like the opening credits for a disaster movie.

kaye said...

you make those electrical lines look good. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.

it is the effect that made the photo excellent. night is coming and the sky still speaks of beauty.
