Yes, !t is the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (lately, I also link all my posts in these challenges to my original gallery)

I noticed the similarity between the 2 as well - remarkable!

This was in Nuremberg, in January - I suppose in the summer it has water in it

^^ it's funny, I've been to Nürnberg several times but don't know the downtown area very well. I see I'll have to remedy that!

Well, as a tourist I've seen ONLY the downtown area (for less than one day)

Isn't she beautiful? She was the first angel street mime in Madrid and was quite successful till a whole bunch of imitators appeared. I haven't seen her since.

Great image.

Denise, I think this one is so wonderful in the style of the classic pastoral, idyllic, landscape scenes!
If printed large, I could sit in a chair and look for long, languishing, minutes...

I totally agree - almost couldn't stop looking at it!

I really like this one, Eric.

What's the back story?

^^^ Richard, Denise, thanks so much for the feedback!

Richard, funny you should ask...

I had a fun, unexpected, slightly strange experience that day... (sorry, you're getting the long version

).
The day before, I met the photographer chap with the backpack when I answered his Craigslist ad for some photo gear.
We got to yacking, and he - in a very friendly gesture - invited me to be third-camera on a model shoot that was to take-place
at a really cool, abandoned, rusty/old/iron/truss railroad bridge. Posed-people photography is not my usual interest, so, I thought it would be a great opportunity to do-and-learn with the other photogs.
We met-up early at the rendezvous point, where my new friend proceeded to inform us that, because the bridge was on Military land,
we could get in big trouble if we got caught walking in there... so, the group huddled and not-so-quickly arrived at a Plan B,
which took us many miles away to the beach/coast... in mid-morning sun... with no cool bridge, and harsh light... oh well (sigh).

But... it worked-out very well... the model was a very cool guy (an athlete and performance artist as-well), and I was happy with a few of the clicks from the shoot... luckily, so was he!

Pavement made a great reflector in this one...

Richard · August 6, 2016

I guessed that he was a model. That shot with the chains is too much.

Thank you Sara! It was taken near Twillingate, Newfoundland, a very beautiful place.

Thanks Richard and Tatiana, I was immediately caught by the resemblance of shapes while being totally different subjects.

Richard · September 30, 2016

Great shot, Sara.

sarasphotos · September 30, 2016

Thanks, Richard! Is that a goosestep or what??? It's moments like these I am thankful for my flip-out viewing screen!

I do too! Have you been there since the stickwork sculpture was installed?

Not since it was finished, but while in progress. Got a few shots then. Have you been into Worcester yet for the Pow Wow art?

Yes - but I think I'll need to return. I looked at your gallery again after I was there and I clearly missed some of the murals. What I saw was pretty awesome though, gallery is at http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Urban-art-Worcester/.
