Topics I've Started

Local Car Shows

I thought I'd create a place to post the inevitable photos I will take at the upcoming Cowtown Cruise for a Cure - this Saturday, September 15 from 10 to 3 in Sundance Square. No admission charge for spectators, $35 for the hot rodders to register.

Geometry

Inspired/reminded/prompted by Bruce's soon-to-be-legendary parking garage photo, I've assembled a series of pictures which are not necessarily meant to be of anything in particular - just interesting shapes and lines.

Flight Time!

12 April 2012 - 11:57 AM

My apologies in advance for the following blatant advertisement for a certain Dallas-based airline for whom my son works, and from whom we, as parents, get unlimited free (albeit standby) flights! These are various shots from our many journeys made possible by the hard work of our son!

Home is never far away...

Although this is actually another sunrise, for our purposes, we'll call it a sunset and the end of the show!

Victorian Homes

Although I have still not tracked down the Victorians in FW, I stumbled upon a neighborhood full of 'em in Galveston last weekend! Some of them need a little TLC, but what beautiful houses!

It's all in the details

One of the things I enjoy about the buildings around town are the little details - easily overlooked, but lasting evidence of the long-ago craftsmanship some of the buildings were constructed with. Several examples!

Kind of creepy

From the top of the P.O. columns, I've posted one of these before, but found one without the brass stains

The original Fort Worth fire bell - purchased in 1882 for the volunteer FD, used by the regular FD starting in 1893, and retired in 1912 when the automatic system was installed
