Concrete Jungle
Street Documentary — Las Vegas
Hello dear Black and White community,
When I traveled to Las Vegas, I was excited and curious to finally see the city everyone talks about.
But as soon as I arrived, I sensed a strange smell of casino coins.
The airport felt surreal, packed with lights and machines. And stepping outside… an unbearable heat.
The city rose like a concrete jungle, bright yet empty on the inside.
Lights, noise, endless streets, but very little humanity.
A landscape where time gets lost in screens and bets.
As Bob Marley once said:
“The sun will not shine in my day today.”
Sometimes, behind all the glitter, all you find is the shadow.
Here’s today’s collection wishing you all strength and good energy ✨
Peace and love.
Thanks for being part of this ongoing #MonoMad Challenge adventure!

Jungla de Cemento
Street Documentary — Las Vegas
Cuando viajé a Las Vegas tenía entusiasmo, curiosidad, ganas de ver esa ciudad que todos idealizan.
Pero al llegar, lo primero que sentí fue un olor extraño a monedas de casino.
El aeropuerto era raro, lleno de luces y máquinas. Y al salir… un calor infernal.
La ciudad se levantaba como una jungla de cemento, brillante pero vacía por dentro.
Luces, ruido, calles interminables, pero poca humanidad.
Un paisaje donde el tiempo se pierde en pantallas y apuestas.
Como decía Bob Marley:
“The sun will not shine in my day today.”
Así se sintió.
A veces, detrás del brillo, solo queda la sombra.
Les deseo las mejores energías y fuerzas ✨
Paz y amor.
Buenas vibras para todos, siempre.
Gracias por acompañarme en esta aventura continua del #MonoMad Challenge

STOPThe fourth photograph, without words. Beautiful
I stayed at the Trump Hotel; I’ll admit it, I’m kind of ashamed of it now. The view was beautiful, but behind all the “luxury” you can feel that empty, arrogant vibe that reflects the man behind the name. Still, I spent hours recording time-lapses while the city swallowed the night.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
I barely saw the pictures and recognized it as Las Vegas. Two years ago, my wife went and tells me it's just like she saw it in movies and photographs—literally the City of Lights. Cheers!
Visually, Las Vegas is a monster that never stops: alcohol, drugs, debauchery, and a rhythm that consumes everything. I wish I had today’s photographic control back then, so I could share stronger images of that chaos.
One thing’s for sure—the heat is one of the most unbearable I’ve ever felt.
