Jacob Lake used to be a magnificent lake where people swam, boated and fished. It was then privately purchased, and in an effort to make it better, the owner dredged up the lake, in turn breaking through the clay base. The lake drained and is now a little larger than a puddle. The Jacob Lake Inn was the only game in town. It was the restaurant, motel, gift shop and gas station. I was a little nervous going to the room, but it turned out to be lovely. I was pleasantly surprised.

After we checked into our hotel, we went to The Venetian. I guess we needed a little bit of Italy.

Yes, man-made as opposed to all of my previous posts where mother-nature was definitely the star. But, what a magnificent hotel.

We left Jacob Lake and got back on the road for Las Vegas, Nevada. The landscape to Nevada was equally as stunning as it had been. There were surprises around each turn in the road. Once in Las Vegas, it was a totally different atmosphere. An oasis in the middle of the desert. While it isn't a natural wonder, it is a wonder. A different kind of electricity in the air.
cool shoots, i really like the coins,... just one question, why did u erease the face of the child ? some the landscapes looks like some parts of peru.
