Another shot from my super moon outing. I have to be partial to the Hills Brother’s Coffee building since its now the home of Wharton San Francisco. In my time at Wharton, the school was a few blocks away in the Folger’s building. I recently attended an event at the new campus and it’s a really beautiful facility.

I had gone out to photograph the super moon back in May but that didn’t work out quite as planned so I looked for other subjects.

The view from the terrace is quite impressive. The height is just right to appreciate the architectural detail of the surrounding historic buildings. The clock tower is part of the Wrigley Building which was built in the early 1920s. And while the view falls in the “don’t miss” category, I found their cocktails over priced and unimpressive.

This is sign is a and perhaps the iconic image of Las Vegas. It’s a destination in and of itself today. Located on beyond on the South end of the strip, most visitors only see it by seeking it out as arrival in Vegas today via by interstate highway or by air bypasses it.

This lion sits out front MGM Grand. The Lion mascot brings me back to staying at the MGM Grand Reno as kid on ski trips to Tahoe. With its origin in the golden age of Hollywood, the MGM Lion has a level of class that hard to find on today’s strip which mostly screams excess rather than class.
