and Union Station

Last night we enjoyed our last outdoor concert of the summer.

The venue was the well-known Frederick Meijer Garden Amphitheater in Grand Rapids. FMG is the Best Sculpture Garden in the USA and its amphitheater host dozens of concerts during the warm weather.

We luckily secured two tickets to the sold out concert for Alison Krauss and the Union Station. Having been a fan for many years, I was eager to hear her voice in the live.

Below are a few of their songs that I was able to capture.

We were sitting on the lawn more than 50 yards away but my compact camera performed well recording the video at a distance with quite good quality audio. Excuse several focus issues and attendees walking in front of me.

With this concert we’ve left the summer behind, having heard the fabulous voice of Alison Krauss and the talented music of the Union Station. This group really takes bluegrass to the highest level.

with my camera

As a big fan of aviation I make sure that I have a camera with me whenever I’m near an airport. Sometimes I’ll even make a special trip to an airport especially if it has a viewing area.

There’s one such viewing area alongside Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. For those of you familiar with the city, the viewing area is on Sunset Road towards the east end of the airport. Here you will get a very clear view of aircraft landing on runway 26L. Below are a few shots that I captured recently.

Below is a short clip of my flight into LAS two days earlier

Hopefully you enjoyed seeing these airplanes as much as did.

inside and outside

Early last month I was in Las Vegas for a few days. For the last forty or so years, I’ve traveled to Las Vegas for business and pleasure so I’m pretty familiar with the city and surroundings. But each time I return there is always something new to see. It’s a very dynamic place.

Since I’m not into gaming, neither the blackjack and crap tables nor roulette wheels interest me. However is you continue to walk through the huge gaming areas you will reach the shopping area lined with elegant (and expensive) retail stores selling jewelry, clothing and fashion accessories.

I’m not really a shopper but i do I enjoy window shopping. Here are some of the “attractions” for visitors who are not gamblers.
