Dave, is that the incinerator at the end of Yuma, to the southwest of E. Berry and Riverside Drive?

[Austin55]

Some one went inside. No thanks to that.

Yes; that is the one off of Yuma at Berry.  I went early in the morning and planned to get a bit closer but the cops showed up almost immediately.  I'm guessing they watch the place pretty closely.  I was shooting from the fence-line, so they were cool with me being there but they said that they have a lot of stolen cars dumped in that area.  I shot for a while and, as I was leaving, they were still sitting nearby around a corner.  So, if you want to go inside, I'd say you need to pack your ruck-sack and hike in.

OK, I joined this forum just because of this thread. What a cool collection of shots of Fort Worth.

[Doohickie]

Well, you better start contributing!  Welcome.

[FocusFortWorth]

OK, here is one a took a couple weeks ago from the roof of my office building (Summit Building). The orange on the buildings is from the sun setting behind me.

Is 1566 taken with a fish-eye lens?   The street seems pretty darn level, but the building seem like they are leaning toward each other.

[Austin55]

My last picture? Nope, it was taken with a Nikon Coolpix.

It does seem to have a leftward lean to it. Might just be the picture.

I've been doing a lot of Dallas photography lately, but just posted this one from Fort Worth on my Flickr:

Do you ever feel like we've run out of angles or pictures?

It kinda makes it more fun and challenging to take something interesting.

[dangr.dave]

Here is an interesting shot of Burnett Plaza.

Where were you for this shot, dangr.dave? It looks like the area by the cemetery.

[dangr.dave]

Yes, Matthew; I took the photo from Oakwood Cemetery.

 

Here is a shot from west 7th:

On the Trinity Trails South of University on Saturday

 

 

Walking home from the Stockyards Sunday night

 

 

 

On North Main Street. Buildings dated 1909. I bet the people that built this structure would really be amazed to walk into this tattoo shop.  They would never believe it. Young guys and girls coming in to permanently paint their bodies from head to toe.  (Used to be icky sailors only)  Then after spending thousands of dollars on tattoos ask their neighbors to pay for their kids lunches at school.

 

[Cowtown Mike]

Brian, as always great shots. I like the one of North Main looking at the courthouse.  You are right on about the tats. Can buy milk for the kids, but can get a new tat often.  Hope you don't mind if I share photo #2 of the courthouse and as always you get the credit.

Same photo cropped.  I had a bigger lens, but I wasn't sure where to shoot.  Now I know where to look, I can always go back tomorrow night.

 

I think I need to stick to architectural photography.

I need a burger:

Dave, Kincaid's is my favorite burger place.  Every so often, I will dash over there for lunch.

[dangr.dave]

I'm up for lunch at Kincaids.

Here is the south end of downtown:

I'm up for lunch at Kincaids. 

 

There's been talk about a FWArchitecture meetup but I don't know that lunch was ever an option.  This might actually be a good idea.  Just pick a random workday and let's all meet for lunch at Kincaid's.

[John T Roberts]

I'm free this Friday at noon, if anyone wants to meet me at Kincaid's.

[dangr.dave]

Ahhh.  I'll not be in town this Friday.  I'm in next Friday, though.

[John T Roberts]

Unfortunately, I'm tied up on the last Friday in March.  I'm still willing to meet any of the other Forum Members at Kincaid's this Friday.

Morning over the courthouse by dangr.dave, on Flickr

[Brian Luenser]

• Did my Saturday 10 mile walk around Fairmount and Ryan Place on Saturday.  Very interesting in many areas.  But my surprise of the Year?  This mansion in Ryan Place on a huge corner lot.  For Sale.  $599k.  Would have guessed the lot was $800k.  Can't imagine why it is so cheap.  Would have guessed $2mm +.

I'm gonna drop another film photo into this digital fest.  

 

Out on a photowalk through the 'hood with my friend Amanda, and I couldn't resist getting a shot of this bike parked at the Live Oak:
