[Leica] IMG Don's PAW Week 10 Las Vegas with no glitz

Ken,
Beautiful, especially the first one. Is the location for Antonioni's film of
the same name? Where Pink Floyd's apocalyptic "Careful With That Axe,
Eugene" is played? My memory is a bit weak on this one, as I saw that film
maybe 20 odd years ago.
Cheers
Jayanand
