Some nice buildings downtown, and Deep Ellum and the museum both look nice. Not sure Dallas is high on my list of places to visit, though. Thanks for the photos!

Dallas DT core is amazing, architecture-wise.

The newly-constructing cluster looks unDallas-y.

After nearly a decade overseas, I find I have a pull towards places like Dallas. It's the anti-Europe. I'd like to roll around in a big truck and watch the towers flicker by. I'd like to pay 20% of the cost per square foot that I do in Stockholm. Would I trade my 100-station metro and 19th century blocks? Some days yeah, some days no.

Thanks for the tour. Downtown Dallas has a nice collection of older (pre ‘70s) buildings. Glad you had the autofocus on!

I can understand this and I had similar feelings when I was down south and out west for the first time because it was so different than what I was used to and had the room to be able to "stretch out" a little bit.

You have a great eye, as always--Dallas has never seemed more sleek or interesting than through your lens.

The massive scale of the Trinity River bridges relative to the width of the river itself crack me up.

Nice shots! Love all the textures.

And I love this dude who has been in a deep sleep since 1971 and just woke up.

In the springtime, the Trinity "River" gets much wider due to precipitation and snowmelt, and during flooding events, so it can look like this:





I'm glad they didn't cheap out on the bridge designs, but they do look kinda ridiculous during normal times:
