Big thing on Channel 8 news last night about the new Museum Tower reflecting sunlight into these peoples condos. Mostly I say, "Tough" I mean, really. They were saying that in the Morning from 10 to 11 they can hardly see out. What they didn't understand is the sun is moving in the sky all year. (Apparently) The Sun is now heading South again and the reflection will likely go away until next June. But let's say the Sun doesn't move this year. (Yes, I know it is the angle of the Earth) Should one building be concerned about it's reflection on buildings blocks away? I surely do not think so. It is a hazard to real estate. You mostly cannot control what goes on around you. (Really, it makes renting sound pretty smart)
For energy efficiency, I would guess more building will be more reflective. They have to do what they can to make the buildings more efficient. In a week like this when we are all choking on smog, it should remind us to conserve when we can. There are a few building in my view that have a white vinyl roof. (I put one on my water filter plant and lowered the temps in the factory 15°)
These white roofs ruin me... for like a few hours a few days a year. There will be more of them. There should be.

.... Ay carumba!! I think I'll keep myself anchored to my desk!
Me too! My knees get weak just considering it. Good photos, Ron. Looks like the same pair dangling there in the air. Your perspective is just the right complement to the view I was stuck with, as all I had with me was my 20mm wide angle lens.

The photos are super high quality, so you can (in Flickr) make them as large as you want if you want to see any of the more subtle details.

We used to wash our windows in The Tower every month. When I was director I thought it was much too expensive. (At the time was about 20k per wash) Changed it to quarterly. Good enough.
Think I'll take a side job as a window washer so that I can hang off of the tower and other tall buildings taking pictures.

Took some photos of the Cook Memorial Hospital building on Lancaster this morning. Hope you enjoy looking at 'em as much as I did taking and editing them!

Nice shots! And one of the most underrated buildings in town.

Took a shot with my wide angle lens. (The lens that was on my camera.) Was not a great shot as the lens made them look 20 miles away.Grabbed my 70-200 and took this shot after the 3 remaining planes looped Downtown. I ran for my BIG lens back in my office, but they were then gone. (I blame my wife as she won't let me keep my "Camera crap" all over the living room floor.) Would have been a fun shot with the 800.

I had originally planned to go and photograph the fireworks, as well, but I rode my bicycle on the big 4th of July ride with the Fort Worth Bicycling Association. We started at Lake Weatherford and rode north toward Springtown. Afterwards, we went to a members home near Aledo and had a barbecue and pool party. I didn't leave there until late in the afternoon, and I was tired and dehydrated. I only received 4 hours sleep the night before the ride. Anyway, sitting outside most of the afternoon, had me a little dry, so I decided to stay home to recover, since I had to be back at work today.

Pretty disappointing from our end of town - other than the finale (below), it was almost all blocked by the Tower! Although I still intend to own there when our house finally sells, it was annoying me with its bulkiness last night!

I was at the T&P Tavern tonight, so I thought I would post a shot inside the old diner.
Did you play the bean bag toss?

You have any more shots like this?

I started out with about 80 shots, and all but 6 ended up on the 'cutting room floor', so I do have 5 more. The Tower is even more blurry than in this shot, but I can email them to you if you'd like - just send me a note or email me at rpayne@nwpipe.com

I think I know nearly half the people there.I was at the T&P Tavern tonight, so I thought I would post a shot inside the old diner.
My "daily digital" is of significantly poorer quality. I took my camera on my bike ride last night, but rode all the way (22 miles) without stopping. As I was nearing home I decided to snap a pic as I rolled through Westcreek Park.

Missed this. Excellent shot. Also, I was wondering about that place as I have not heard about it in a few years.

So he can keep an eye on Uncle Brian.
I like this shot from the gated parking lot. An imposing sight looking straight up to the Burnett Plaza Building.

Also, along the 'daily digital' lines, another of those sunsets I am obsessed with - this one from July 14
