Traveling can be a lot of fun, it can be stressful and it can be tiring. How many times have you heard people say that they need a holiday to recover from the one they just returned to? Loads yes? A trip to Las Vegas though, what limits would you put on your activities? Now there is a question (although the thoughts going through your head now are yours).
We on the other hand had a few things we wanted to do, but not too much as we felt we wanted to keep calm and leave opportunity for spontaneity.

Things to do:

1. Meet old friends
2. Go to the wedding
3. Relax by the pool
4. See a show
5. Experience Vegas
6. Hire a convertible Mustang
7. Visit Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon
8. Have a good time

We planned to kill two birds with one stone and hire the Mustang and visit the Canyon and the Dam. Now the Dam is really only a 40 minute drive away but the Grand Canyon turned out to be a huge five our jaunt each way. We worked it out, that is like us driving all the way to Calais from Hannover for a sunset. Now in those terms it seems bonkers but it was all part of the experience and even after 16 hours on the road we had no regrets.

One of the biggest jobs we as photographers have is trying to keep on top of our archives, this is no mean feat for those of us that are not what you would call a specialist photographer.  As a generalist, we can tackle most things.  Also like anyone else we need to recharge our batteries.

After a few days away (somewhere we have not been before), we had been to the seaside.  On looking around on the map we settled on an area to the north of Germany, close to the border of Holland.  With a huge Dyke along the coast, breathtaking and dramatic the scenery was not, but what that gave you was the potential for big big skies.

Thankfully one night did not dissonant.
