Luxor to Vega

Las Vegas view map

The beacon from the top of the Luxor casino shining upwards towards the star Vega. Kind of
amazing that you can see any stars at all through the photon blitzkrieg that is Las Vegas.

I like your choice of PoV and use of negative space. V

Outstanding capture, Sam. I initially thought the same thing as Stephanie. When I first looked at my night shots of Las Vegas I was surprised that you could see stars. V

an astutely observed alignment, and so well captured considering the mystique of a pyramid...

Nicely taken/composed, Sam! VT!!

Superb capture Sam! Love the lighting outline on the pyramid! V
The thumbnail made me wonder if this was a capture of the World Trade Center lights shown on 9/11.
