The Gambler

            The Gambler
Kenny Rogers

Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for 
Is to die in your sleep"
And when he'd finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
Faded off to sleep

And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep


Crown Casino. A killer to shoot from this viewpoint. I was on 16mm, and because I was pretty much literally underneath it, I couldn’t get it all in one ( landscape format ) frame.
So, this image is a 3 image vertical pano, taken in landscape format and stacked in Lightroom.
Taken about 15 minutes before SR

Hope you like “The Gambler”
Cheers, Mike
