Walking Tall

walking_tall, a photo by chancew1 on Flickr.

Another HDR picture of the “Walking Tall” version of the “Travelling Man” series of sculptures down in Deep Ellum here in Dallas.

I had a little accident taking these photos. One of his feet is on a bit of an elevated platform – it looks like a green disk. Do you see it?

I didn’t.

Stepped off and backwards – did protect my camera, though, as I tumbled into some gravel.

You can see one of the new DART stations across the street. I should have waited until a train was going by. Sometime, I’ll go do that.

Kids Splash in front of the Wyly Theater

My favorite bit of architecture that has risen during the orgy of recent construction in the Dallas Arts District is the Dee and Charles Wyly Theater. Designed by OMA architect Rem Koolhaus and REX, the building doesn’t look like a theater, it looks like a Borg Cube.

I took this HDR photograph of children playing in the shallow reflecting pool that connects the Wyly Theater with the Winspear Opera House.
