Historical wall, Austin, TX

A rather unique way to tell the story of a historical site. I dig it.

Shiny patterned blue tile wall of a building downtown.

Frost Bank Tower, Austin, TX

Funky-topped skyscraper in the center of Austin.

Funky space submarine, Austin TX airport

Austin wants you to know that it is weird, right from the moment you enter the airport and start seeing things like this space submarine sculpture thing. Weirdness, after all, is an important part of Austin's brand.

Townhouse clusters near Dallas

Townhouses clustering in dense wooded pseudo-luxury.

Dallas area overpass

The design of this Dallas-area overpass and highway interchange is very unusual: rather than a typical cloverleaf shape, it has this rectangular "belt-buckle" shape with extended perpendicular connections into a parallel road, on which the entries and exits are offset.

Cows and circles near Dallas

Cows clustering in a field of yellowed circles outside of Dallas. Faintly in the center of the biggest cluster of cows, you can see the cylindrical steel wireframe of a feeding station. I think the circles are where the cows damage the grass near the feeding station, and that the station is moved from time to time to allow the fields time to slowly recover, which would be consistent with the different degrees of "fading" on the circles scattered around the field.
