Cocktails at Paul and Harvey

Cocktails at Paul and Harvey

I love neon signs so this Paul and Harvey sign always catches my eye when go to downtown Sunnyvale.   I’ve never actually been inside.   Perhaps I ought to try it out as the Yelp reviews are pretty good.

Four Mile Beach

Four Mile Beach is just a few miles out of Santa Cruz on Highway 1 North.   Not much color in sky on this evening in April.

Hills Brothers Coffee Building

Hills Brothers Coffee Building

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.

The Embarcadero At Night

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 at the Trump Tower Chicago

View from the Terrace at the Trump Tower, Chicago

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.

Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas

November 28, 2011Mike Chowlasigns Leave a comment

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.
