Interesting photo.  Is the guy on the hog riding backwards?  His flag is blowing backwards from what it should look like if he were going forward...or there was a strong tail-wind.  Speaking of hogs:

I like that shot, Austin.  I took a similar one but your fish-eye is a little wider than mine.  Good job.

How about this, looking out of one of the windows of the Sinclair Building, past a truly spectacular poop-covered eagle, at the Fair Building?

Hmmm...I see the Fritz Lanham, the Fair and the FW Club buildings.  How about the same ones, plus a few more, from a different angle:

It's been a while since someone posted a photograph, so I decided to revive the game.

Decimus Burton’s Wellington Arch, commemorating the Duke of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon at Waterloo. It was once an entrance to Buckingham Palace. It is topped by Adrian Jones’ sculpture Peace Descending on the Quadriga of War - the largest bronze sculpture in Europe.

I think it is the section of White Settlement Road Bridge that is going over the never to be dug bypass channel... because nothing it there.  LOL

Ah, Rename - I know that monument well.

 

Since we're still on sculpted horses, I offer this:

 

HalicarnassusHorse.jpg

 

 

This beauty is the forepart of a horse from the chariot-group atop the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in what is now southwestern Turkey. This mausoleum is also known as the Tomb of Mausolus, from which we get the term 'Mausoleum'. Mausolus was a satrap of Persia. The horse (and mausoleum) is from about 350 BC.
