Looking north to the business district from Ferris Plaza along Wood Street. Bank of America building is the tall one on the left. |
This is looking east to the city centre from Commerce & Murray, at the east end of Deep Ellum. The towers are about 3/4 of a mile away. |
Looking down North Harwood just north of Ross. There are skyscrapers and huge buildings as far as the eye can see, it's almost like being in a huge open tunnel. |
From the middle of the Kennedy Memorial Plaza, on Main, looking SW. The federal office building is to the left, the records office to the right. |
Thanksgiving Square, Pacific & Ervay. A Christian site, rubbing it in like no-one's business. It's open to give thanks right round the clock, during regular office hours (9-5 weekdays.) Closed weekends and national holidays. Which, logically, means one can't give thanks on Thanksgiving. |
The Pioneer Plaza Cattle Drive, aka The Stampede; Griffin & Young. A 1994 construction, sculpted by Robert Summers, celebrating Texas' history of cattle. It's a full-scale replica in bronze, each of 40 animals weighs 1000 lbs. Dallas Convention Centre is in the middle distance, with the Reunion Tower poking its head above. |
Main, looking S. This large block *is* the JFK memorial. |
Sadly, this wasn't the car I rode round in all fortnight. It's too big to fit into one picture. |
Holding on to one of the big horny things at the Stampede. [Pic taken by Heather.] |
From the Trinity Rail Express, looking out at the Stemmons Freeway, this tower caught my eye. It's shaped like an eye - narrow at the side, broad in the middle, all curves. |
Generally, I don't do people pictures, especially when the subjects are unwilling - this explains why there are no shots of my hosts. However, going to the airport to meet Cory was a great excuse to commit memories to CCD. |
Taken without a flash. I have no idea what the people in the left of the picture thought they were looking at, but I know they were wrong (: |
Taken with a flash, and without the people in the background. [These two snapped by Jaeda.] |
