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.

    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.

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

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

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

    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 !

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

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

    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.
