Okay,  I thought you were beyond Maricopa, south of the casino, but then
the Estrellas wouldn't have been in that frame if you were.  I still
wonder what the enormous light source is west of Maricopa Road and south
of Maricopa.

curves, which directed headlights straight into my camera repeatedly
during the 45-minute exposure.  A railroad parallels the highway, and I
think a couple of trains contributed to the glare.
