Yeahaaa! I did it! Landed yesterday in Vegas! Going to start my road trip from here!
Fun city?! Sin City?! Whatever! Vegas is awesome! I don’t need to know more ;)
Las Vegas, a surreal appariation rising out of barren desert sands, at first glance Las Vegas appears a shimmering mirage, a figment of your imagination. An alternate universe, where the globe’s most famous sights – ancient Egypt’s pyramids, Paris’s Eiffel Tower, the canals of Venice – tumble together, bathed in an ethereal neon glow.
Fused by greed, driven by lust, pulsating with passion, Las Vegas embodies the shady side of the American Dream. It’s a place where inhibitions are temporarily lost, sins forgotten and fate decided by the spin of a roulette wheel. Reality is skewed, the obscure becomes mainstream.
Las Vegas never stops pumping, Exuding frenetic electricity, time is irrelevant. There are no clocks. A visit to this seedy, yet decadent, fantasyland is like embarking on a choose-your-own adventure story where anything can happen. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
More pictures will follow in a month, if I’m back home! Cos I’m on the road, I’m kind of handicapped in post processing images.
So, now I am definetaly going to crash and have some sleep, finally! Later then I’m going to pick up my car at the rental station and will head then East. I picked a 2500km route thru the Canyon Country! It should take me one week to make the trip thru the Canyons.

Artjom, great description of Sin City. You make Vegas seem like an erotic lover that you know you shouldn’t have, but their charms keep you coming back for more. With every post not only do you show your talent for capturing images, you also show how you can enhance your imagery with words. Your skill is an intricate brilliance that is evolving, and it will one day manifest itself into a an appreciation of beauty that is shared by many.
Bravo!!!!!!!
