This week’s #frifotos* theme is mirrors – and these huge Texas-size mirrors immediately popped to my mind. Not only are they Texas-size, they are actually Texas mirrors.
The first skyscraper in Dallas was constructed in 1909. I took this photo a million years ago when I was in town for a football game (which, I’m happy to say, OU won 14 – 7, sorry Texas peeps).
I had a copy of this on my office wall for years. Just love how the clouds appear all around the skyscraper. Yet, I’ve no idea which building it is – or even if it still exists. Maybe you do?
* #FriFotos is a weekly Twitter chat where travellers share their favourite photos. Each week has a theme.
It’s one of my favorite buildings in Dallas – especially as a storm or cold front is moving in.
Glad to hear it’s still standing.
No wonder it looked familiar! 🙂
🙂
Beautiful photo 🙂
Thanks.
That’s a really nice shot. It’s almost as if the clouds aren’t interrupted by the building.
Thanks. Got lucky with those clouds.
Nice picture, I’m sure if we stand in front of this building we will look like an ant from above the building.
I’m sure you’re right.
Impressive. Does it have mirrors along the pavement as well, so that passers by can cultivate their vanity?
How cool wouldn’t that be… 😉
I’ve never been to Dallas. Nice building though, that is quite a long time ago, didn’t realize sky scrapers in Dallas were so old though.
Yep, things have been big in Texas for a long time.
I adore this photo! I’m definitely bookmarking it to look back at. I’m a sucker for a good cloud pic 😉
The clouds did cooperate nicely that day 🙂
Very amazing building, I love to see such awesome creations.
It’s certainly striking.
Seems like Texas has a lot to offer too for architecture buffs like my wife. I guess we need to do more research so we can plan our trip well. We are visiting Corpus Christi and will be staying at Emerald Beach Hotel where a family affair will be held next month. After that, we’re planning to have our husband-wife bonding and travel around Texas for three weeks.
