Leaving Las Vegas

Leaving Las Vegas, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

I was thinking about having ridden a Road King under thosse red rocks. The visual impact of leaving las vegas is only matched by a memory of arriving in Salt Lake City on a Greyhound when I was 18. The rising sun had caught the the orange desert and set it on fire... all of salt lake city was shaded by the mountains and still in darkness. lights flickering.
There is a little of that idea in this picture.

The strong man, Bernard the Beast, was not so big and not so strong. "I'm to old for this" he grumbled, nursing his back. Mara, the bearded lady, though she moved with beauty and grace, was clearly a man. The Fearless Freemonts, identical twins, were more and more afraid and argued incessantly. Todd the torch had given up smoking and was unapproachable as of late. Willy the Wolfman was in love with two woman and howled late into the night. There on the edge of the desert Marvellous Max rolled himself another cigarette. And pondered.
