Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.

Visited Las Vegas for the first time last month. Lots of cool stuff to see, as you would expect, including lots of accessible public art like this piece here along The Strip.

Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.

This breakfast joint has moved down the street in downtown Phoenix … with hope this wonderful oxidized sign will rejoin the business some day.
