Photo overlooking the Vegas Strip from my Cousin Wes and Cyndy’s house in Henderson. We were there for Wes’ surprise 50th birthday party and as the sun set, the sky started to glow so I grabbed my camera and tripod. I really wish I had their backyard!

My ParisVegas Series contains photos taken exclusively of landmarks in Las Vegas that are accurate replicas of landmarks in Paris, France. The most famous landmark is the Eiffel Tower, or La Tour Eiffel as the French say. The tower in Vegas is the most accurate replica ever constructed in the world, though it is at one-half scale. The Vegas version was precisely designed and constructed based on original engineering drawings by Gustav Eiffel from 1889. It is even painted the exact same shades of brown as the original, involving three shades, varying from light brown at the top to a darker brown at the base to give the illusion that the tower is of a uniform color while viewed from the base. With such faithfulness, photographs depicting the design of the replica in Las Vegas are, for all intensive purposes, also depicting the design of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris. Another intricate replica is the Arc de Triomphe. The Vegas version is an exact replica of the original at two-thirds scale. The original triumphant arch was completed in 1836 to commemorate major victories during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic periods, the names of which are engraved around the top of the arch. The names of less important victories, as well as those of 558 generals, are engraved on the inside walls. Generals whose names are underlined died in action. The fountain featured in my ParisVegas series is a replica of La Fontaine de Mers. The original bronze fountain was designed and built by Jacob Ignaz Hittorf in 1836 in the Place de la Concorde, the largest square in Paris. The classic building featured in my photographs is based on the Paris Opera House designed by Charles Garnier and built in Paris between 1862 and 1875 on the orders of Napoleon III as part of the great Parisian reconstruction project carried out by Baron Haussmann.

This photograph was taken in Reno, Nevada (Boomtown) last year during the Cabela’s grand opening. / I’ve keep forgetting to share this with you. / Do you see the face in the clouds? It only lasted for a few seconds as the wind was blowing. It was really cool to see but almost creepy. / Completely untouched! / Copyright Notice: / All images are the property of ©Leah Highland and may not be used wholly or in part without the prior written permission by email, including copying, duplicating, manipulating, printing, / publishing (even on a web site), reproducing, storing, or transmitting by any means.

The Challenge: “If you had 24 hours to live …” – in black-and-white For me, the answer was easy!: I would follow my heart to Telegraph Mountain, to explore again the familiar crags and peaks, and rugged canyons running down to the high desert. I would climb to the top and look out once more across the vast expanse of the mountain itself—then further – across Butte Valley, the Butte Mountains, all the way to the Rubies to the west, and the Egan and Cherry Creek Ranges to the northeast. I would climb higher still – to see Steptoe Valley and the Schell Creek Mountains that disappear into the southeastern horizon. I would talk to the deer and the elk, and the wild horses that roam the foothills. (May I not live to see the day of no mustangs on this land!) I would drink from pristene springs, and sing along with the perpetual song of the creeks, rushing to find the desert. If my last hours should happen to be in Fall, I would pick wild berries and pinon nuts. I would eat my fill beneath the quakies without care for tomorrow’s consequences. Up there, I can see the whole wild world, much as it looked a century ago. Up there in the Wilderness, the cares of Humanity are far away. All is peace. Let my last act be a shutter-click lightning-strike: a crack through which my spirit may slip from this world to the next. Let my last word be “Freedom!“

I see the golden glint; / The treasure leaves me breathless… / Oh, no! I’m too far, / Too far to reach it. / I stare at it like hungry wolf / Upset by weakness, / And hardly smother / My helpless yammer: / Don’t! Don’t fade away, / For goodness’ sake! The Lord just leniently smiled / By sending back the wind who whispers: / This is the treasure to enrich your soul, / And clean away all dirt from wisdom. / Remember, this is the spiritual fare; / So never ever try to grab it, / For greedy those who lock it though / Will have wake up grinding their teeth, / Instead of gold palming dried leaves… I’m sorry, I’ll have to stay in a shadow for some time again… :(
