Description of Subject Matter: Various artwork:
* Whirlpools by internationally acclaimed sculptor Alice Aycock. This commissioned work welcomes guests with Aycock’s compelling interpretation of water movement inspired by the nearby Potomac River. This large-scale installation, with hundreds of swirling or folded and curved aluminum plates, brings to life the feeling of waves whirling around you. Viewers can feel the power of this sculpture from a distance or watch it come to life as they examine the intricate patterns and attention to detail up close.
* Two expansive water walls extending from the porte cochere. These curved walls, designed by Fluidity, are made of textured stone that create ever-changing geometric patterns as water flows, enveloping visitors in its serene presence punctuated by sweeping surges of choreographed water. In the evening, LED lights illuminate the walls.
* Fighting Cash by Liao Yibai. Currently based in New York, Yiabi explores U.S.-China relations in his very political yet humorous stainless steel sculptures. This piece makes a powerful statement on trade relations and economics binding China and U.S. and is best viewed from a 360-degree angle. Specializing in oversized everyday objects with a twist, Fighting Cash is an absurdist piece depicting Benjamin Franklin coming alive and bursting from a $100 bill, ready to box his counterpart on the 100 Yuan bill.
* Unity by internationally renowned sculptor John Safer from Washington D.C. Unity’s 60-foot tall structures seemingly defy gravity as they rotate 270 degrees from their base. Named for the nearly identical appearance of the three towers while acknowledging their differences, this piece represents an important principle for MGM Resorts: culturally diverse people coming together to work as a group.
* Bob Dylan’s first permanent public sculpture, Portal. This iron gate, made entirely of found objects collected by Dylan himself, was welded together at his California studio and is the first of his projects ...More...

2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
