A test shot from my new Fujifilm X-T1 with 23mm lens

This is one of the largest floorplans designed, a 2200 square foot excecutive unit with panoramic views.

The views from this 30th floor end unit are extensive and spectacular.

2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms.

Furnishings include 2 flat screen televisions (great room is 65″), bedding, dishes, towels, rugs, artwork, and all furniture.

There are two balconies, one off of the great room and one off of the den, which is currently furnished as a formal dining room.

All windows are equiped with remote controlled motorized blinds.

Ammenities include: complimentary valet parking in parking garage, 24 hour consierge and security, complimentary limo service, pool, hot tub, state of the art fitness center with racquetball, steam, jacuzzi, and yoga studio.

2 indoor, secure parking spaces are included. Both spaces are located very near to the entrance to the building, so no need to use valet parking (unless you choose).

Minimum 6 month lease.

The above was lifted directly from Craigslist with all spelling intact. Seems to me, if you were the agent renting a high end apartment, you’d know how to spell “executive”, “amenities”, and “concierge”. Or at least know how to use spellchecker! Oh, and being a brand name, Jacuzzi should be capitalized.

Disneyland For Adults

Emilio

mirage-5There was a time that Las Vegas was called “Disneyland For Adults”. Now it is merely “Sin City”. Either name is an insult! An insult to Walt Disney, an insult to sin!

Air Cooled

10-

On Route 66, just outside of Kingman AZ where summer daytime highs reach above 90 °F (32 °C) frequently, but rarely exceed 107 °F (42 °C). It’s nice to have old time air cooling. Just throw open a window and watch the curtains stand tall and firm whenever a breeze refuses to blow.

Sunday “Spont”

Ash Meadows

Ash Meadows

My wife and I have a habit of just getting in the car and driving. We call it being “spont” – short hand for spontaneous. One Sunday we ended up at the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in the Mojave Desert, approximately 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas NV. It is a wetlands in the middle of the desert. They have unique species and a unique ecology. The Ash Meadows Amargosa pupfish, lives in these waters that warm up to 92 degrees and the pupfish can survive in water only a half-inch deep. They survive in all sorts of difficult conditions, but ultimately they still need water.
