Shooting Airplanes

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.

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.


There are many other colorful displays in and around the casinos that always attract my attention.

Musical Concerts

Songs that you May Know

For most of you, music is enjoyable. For me, live music is exciting.

I love listening to those charged voices and experience the stage movements of  my favorite performers. I’ve had the chance to see a fair share of concerts. But for the most part I’ve been sticking to performances that feature musicians that date back to my younger years.

It’ll be obvious from the songs below that I’m among the older crowd and those of you who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s you will be familiar with some of these faces and music.

Here are a few songs from performances that I’ve attended.
