Carrara, Italy

This is a painting depicting a small portion of the town of Carrara in Western Italy. According to historians, Michelangelo came here to acquire stone fo use in the completion of many of his statues.

It was late afternoon and the Sun was covering the main buildings in light while much of the mountains in the background were in shadow.

Behind the Golden Nugget

I saw this view as I took the elevator to the parking garage at the Golden Nugget hotel in Las Vegas. It was June 2010, late in the afternoon and the contrasts of dark and lights intrigued me. The harsh glare from the Sun on the white cabana and surrounding palms seemed provide a real unusual and interesting separation with the two reflective buildings behind them.
