Morgan Chase Tower

The dominant tower in downtown Houston, and in fact the tallest in Texas. This is the Morgan Chase tower. I like this design, it's simple and little daunting, accentuating height and the audacity of skyscraper construction. 2012

George Bush Park Sunset

I went out to George Bush Park in West Houston to get a shot of the Pan-Starrs comet, but the sunset on its own was nice enough. Texas, 2013

San Jacinto Monument

As of 2018, this was my one and only visit to the San Jacinto Monument; sitting out in east Houston amid the myriad of industry and refineries. This is an HDR shot, hence the interesting detail on the brickwork. Texas, 2012

Downtown Reflections

Reflections on the glazed finish of a typical Houston skyscraper, Texas, 2013

Enron Towers

These towers are among the most striking in downtown Houston. The sleek lines and curves are made for a mono conversion. You wouldn't know that they were associated with one of the biggest financial scandals in history - the Enron scandal. Texas, 2013

Downtown Houston

Unlike the rest of Houston, the downtown area is an apparently eclectic mix of skyscraper designs; with a number of semi-contemporary designs. 2013.

Houston Skyline

An 83 second (why? don't know) long exposure with a big stopper filter of the downtown Houston skyline in Texas, 2013.

Houston Reflections

Was of writing (2018), I haven't seen this reflection pool filled with anything but leaves. Shame, because it makes for quite a sight. Downtown Houston, 2013

Colorful Houston

Got here at just the right time to get this image - darkness was just about to fall and the lights of the Wells Fargo Building and City Hall perfectly lit up the scene. , 2013

Houston at Night

A 25 second long exposure of the Houston skyline in the early evening, taken from the small footprint crossing the Buffalo Bayou, 2013

Energy City

I will have to admit that I was fairly apprehensive of hauling my equipment about in this part of town, and I had to prop my tripod up precariously just to get this long exposure. Still, the lights of downtown Houston are worth the effort. Allen Parkway, Houston, 2013

The Lights are On

Sunset Skyline

This is just one of many (and still more to come) explorations of the Downtown Houston parking lot roofs, in an effort to find the best vantage spots for skyline shots. Best to do it during baseball season as they will be open on a Saturday night! 2014

Lake Woodlands

A pair of office buildings set against the fading light over Lake Woodlands, late on the 4th of July. The Woodlands, Texas. 2018.

4th July Fireworks

4th of July fireworks over the Hughes Landing area of The Woodlands, on Lake Woodlands. Lots of debris in the lake after a big afternoon storm. Texas 2018.

Big thunder and lightning storm over a subdivision in The Woodlands, Texas. 2018.

San Jacinto Monument

Taken just after the (first!) COVID lockdown in Houston - the San Jacinto Monument, in glorious June heat. 2020
