Soft breeze coming from the desert is gently playing with the locks of Dorothy's hair. The scene is safe and endearing. Vegas wallows in its artificial existence. Everything is trucked or airlifted into Vegas. Lake Mead is the main source of its dwindling water supply.
Golf courses flourish in the desert.
Vegas is a perfect example of man's defiance of nature. Standing on the hotel room balcony and overseeing bright lights of the Las Vegas strip, my thoughts stray in many directions The same desert has witnessed many deaths linked to gambling. Thoughts go to the very first gamblers in this area. Four Indian hunters are squatted in a tight group. Polished bones are used instead of dice.
