FMTSO:

Today is April Fool's Day and the theme for this week's Friday Shoot out is that there is no theme.  Our assignment is to choose our favorite theme from the 108 past themes and to have another go at it.  I'm choosing skyline, even though it wasn't my favorite theme but more because I had an opportunity to photograph the city from the airport last night and so my pictures are very fresh.  I watched the sun go down and didn't get home until after 11:00 pm.  I'm also posting a picture from the night before because the sunset was so beautiful.  My lens didn't capture the beauty that my eyes saw but it's still pretty. 

This is an undedited version straight from my camera. 

The colors don't look quite right because the sky was very blue with orange and pink but my camera didn't quite capture the brightness of the blue.

This is my favorite picture of the night simply because the clouds add a little drama.

This was taken last night probably at about 7:30 pm from the top of the long term parking garage at McCaran Airport.

Love the blues and purple and the fact that I caught a plane flying by.

I have a thing for billboards.  I love them. 

In fact, I have this vision of publishing a book with photos of unique billboards across America.

I'm disappointed in this picture but glad I captured the billboards

and the Thomas and Mack Center in the background.
