More Palms More Shadows

More Palms More Shadows

Right down the same dang street as this.

These images came as a sudden surprise while I was riding by this lot early one morning on the second day of 2012.

It's as if the shadows of the palm trees are cast on the walls in front of them.

There are many, many older apartment buildings in Las Vegas, with styles ranging from whimsical to outrageous.

Quite a few are handsome examples of mid-20th century modern architecture. Many of the apartment names draw attention to the fact that they are in Las Vegas - "Palms", "Flamingo", "Desert This" and "Desert That".

Although the Sovereign's name and design are not in those groups, I did like the sign. There's something exotically cryptic about it.

In addition, as I've been riding the neighborhoods around downtown, I've noticed that the Stratosphere tower is a predominant figure.

It shows up in quite a few of my shots. I'm going to start tagging these pics with "Shadocaster", a play on the words "Stratosphere shadow" and "Stratocaster".
