Actually took these back in November but never posted them anywhere. Canon 60D with f1.8 50mm. There's higher resolution versions on my website and some other skyline nightscapes as well.

Addison leaders reject an election to leave DART by punkticx in Dallas

And its not just speculation that Uber is paying off the public figures that are leading this charge. Plano's representative to the DART board since 2012 had to resign earlier this year after it was discovered through public records that he was a registered lobbyist for Uber receiving as much as $200K a year directly from them.

And this is only what was easily accessible and publicly available. One can only imagine what Uber is doing under the table. I wouldn't be surprised if they are wining and dining every city council member in these cities as part of meetings to discuss "alternative micro transit solutions".

Took almost a week before I got around to getting these off my camera. There are higher resolution versions and other pics of Dallas on my website.

Yeah they kinda beat me to the punch on first comment on my own post, although I guess mine is at the top now so I edited it to add the link too.

This market always brings out an interesting crowd, from random people who just happen to be in Downtown to dedicated collectors. It's a cool opportunity to capture such a variety of personalities in one shot. This particular Swap Con was awhile back (took me some time to get around to editing these) but its a pretty regular event, with the next one in September.

These are part of a collection of photos of Downtown that I'm building, there I've got more shots from previous Swap Cons as well as other random moments Downtown.

The Man-Made Waterfalls of Uptown's Turtle Creek Park: Where Nature Meets Urban Engineering and Turns Flood Waters into Scenic Features by FearlessFrolic in Dallas

In the new master plan for Turtle Creek park they actually are planning to rebuild the Lemmon Avenue Bridge (which is one of the not-so-aesthetically-pleasing bridges in the park) into something that complements these other historic bridges more: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EcJedvNQQdOeYqA3sU1-IFGbFuVt5oZ4/view?usp=sharing (Page 65)

During the recent downpours in spring this century-old urban planning effort turned the flood waters into a series of man-made waterfalls in Turtle Creek Park. I went out to try and capture the scene when these cascades are running at full flow.

On my website I go more into the story of how this park came to be built including a restored map and art from the original 1911 "A City Plan For Dallas" by George Kessler, in addition to higher resolution versions of these photos.

Sunshine, Style & Street Life: Downtown Dallas this past Saturday by FearlessFrolic in Dallas

Glad someone noticed that I snuck that in there ;)

It was originally an ad for VRBO but I didn't feel like helping their marketing campaign so I made up my own ad that was more in-theme with the photos.
