Pictures I have taken.

Stack of Stones

Stack of Stones

Walking through the Cedars Neighborhood I was struck by all the open space. Block after block had been torn down, leaving vacant lots – some with concrete steps where a stoop used to be, now leading nowhere. In many cities, this is the hallmark of urban decay – but in Dallas, this is the sign of a giant multi-use development getting ready to launch, simply waiting for the market to be just right.

One stretch of street was lined with a wall of heavy welded steel plates. I peered through the gap between two slabs of slightly rusting metal and saw this sight. What is it? I don’t know.

Tom Stancliffe, Carousel 1996

Fabricated silicon bronze, three sculptures approx. 15h x 5 x 5 each for the Cedars Light Rail Station, Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority, Dallas, Texas. Commission awarded through a national competition sponsored by DART. The sculptures relate not only in form to the landscape design but are also intended to recall the evolution of the neighborhood from a cedar forest, to an elegant Victorian neighborhood, to a now light industrial district.

This is a cool bronze sculpture at one end of the McCasland Sunken Garden at the Dallas Arboretum. You can see the sculpture in the foreground of the photo I used once for a Sunday Snippet I did to practice my character sketches.

These might not be as good as Peggy’s… we seem to be taking pictures of the same things – sort of Dueling Chihulys, so to speak – but it’s all good.

These are the sculptures that were damaged during the hail storm not too long ago. They look fine now.

Magnolia Allee

Posted on by Bill Chance

One of the most impressive sights in the Dallas Arboretum is the Magnolia Allee (along with the different, but equally gorgeous, Crape Myrtle Allee). A long, straight, and narrow path runs between two walls of ancient giant Magnolia trees. This year, the fountain at the end is replaced by one of the larger Dale Chihuly works.

It’s something to see, and even more amazing to walk down.
