Western photo shoot-out (Weekend Street/reflections # 241)

 

Dallas, Texas

I took this picture almost 20 years ago, and I still can't figure out what was going on.😄

                                            Have a great weekend!

  Link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please refrain from posting posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc., unless there is a reflection.

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

King of the road (Weekend Street/Reflections # 224)

 Granbury, Texas

The rusted sign of the Brazos Motel creaked in the wind, its faded letters barely clinging to the rusting metal. Once a bustling stop for weary travelers, it now stood as a relic of forgotten dreams along the desolate highway. On this crisp morning, a lone motorcyclist roared past. He didn’t glance at the motel’s crumbling facade or the empty lot where laughter once echoed. He was chasing the horizon, running from memories as faded as the sign.

                                            Have a great weekend!

Dallas Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 411)

Dallas, Texas

This is an old photo from when I lived in Dallas.  The bird on the left was enjoying the cool water while standing on a tree branch reflection.  :-)

My old back is starting to feel better, and it's not very hot so I need to get out and find some new reflections. 

Thanks for all of your kind comments last week. 

Happy Reflecting!

A Revolving Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 232)

Grapevine, Texas                                 

As the name indicates, Grapevine Texas is famous for grapes and each year they host "Grapefest, the largest wine festival in the Southwest". Last fall while I was walking around Grapefest, I saw this Ferris wheel reflection in a glass door. Considering the name of the shop, this reflection seemed very appropriate to me.

I wish you all a good weekend!

Coming Home (Weekend Reflections # 180)

Dallas, Texas (Everything but the blinds are reflections)

This window had white horizontal blinds that you can still see if you look at the bottom left corner and then move up slowly. Thankfully the blinds didn't hide the reflections.

My vacation ends this weekend and I'll be back to my normal routine by next weekend.

Enjoy Yourself (Weekend Reflections # 179)

Denton, Texas

 When I saw this snowman I thought of an old song called Enjoy Yourself (it's later than you think, enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink, the years go by as quickly as you wink....). 

I wonder if the snowman knows that winter is almost over?

I'm away on vacation until mid March but Weekend Reflections is still scheduled in my absence.

A New Years Kiss (Weekend Reflections # 170)

Grapevine, Texas (The reflection is in the Christmas ornament)

I wanted to capture a Christmas ornament reflection of me and some buildings on Main Street but the kissing couple at the top left of the photo "stole the show". So now this represents a New Years kiss at midnight. 

Happy New Year!!!

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Weekend Reflections # 169)

Fort Worth, Texas (Fort Worth Opera House aka Bass Performance Hall)

This is a reflection of a 48 ft. (almost 15 meters) angel. It's one of two on the side of the opera house in Fort Worth. I captured the reflection in the window of the Barnes and Noble bookstore across the street. 
NF Inspiring Photography/Catching the light

"Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

 

  Merry Christmas!

Lunch Break is Over (Weekend Reflections # 166)

Dallas, Texas

This is a reflection of the woman who was "Sittin' on top of the World" during her lunch break in Weekend Reflections # 163 and another reflection of the Fountain Place Building that I showed in Weekend Reflections # 157.

I hope you have a really great Weekend!

She's "Sittin' On Top of the World (Weekend Reflections # 163)

Dallas, Texas

When I saw this woman eating her lunch next to this huge reflection, the old blues song "Sittin' On Top of the World" came to mind.

Have a great weekend!!!

A Strange Window (Weekend Reflections # 162)

Denton, Texas

Sometimes reflections are clearer than actual things. The old courthouse, the trees and the blue sky are reflections but the face on the left and the light fixture on the right were inside of the store.

Have a great weekend!!!

What's He Looking at? (Weekend Reflections # 159)

Denton, Texas 

I bet Sylvia "from over the hill" can guess what he was looking at. :-)

Thanks to the reflection in his sunglasses I didn't even need to turn around to see the beautiful old courthouse. I did end up seeing the courthouse directly but I spent most of my time capturing its reflection in windows. So this probably won't be the last Denton County Courthouse reflection that I'll post.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Fountain Place (Weekend Reflections # 157)

Dallas, Texas 

This is a clothing store window reflection of the top floors of two skyscrapers and a bare tree. The Fountain Place Building in the center was my focus. Have you ever seen a building with such sharp angles? It looks like it could pierce a hole in the sky. I'm definitely going to go back and try to capture some reflections on the building itself.

This unique skyscraper was designed by I.M. Pei and Partners.


Bon Weekend!

The Longhorn Saloon (Weekend Reflections # 155)

Fort Worth, Texas

This is a sign that is shaped like a bull reflected in the window of a saloon. I didn't go in but I can imagine the sounds of spurs on a wooden floor, whiskey-drinking cowboys and bar fights. I've probably watched too many old movies, but I'm okay with that. :)  
In case you're wondering what's on the right side of the photo, there's a cowboy painted on the window. It looks like the bull reflection is jumping over the cowboy's eye.

Have a great weekend!

Red Sunglasses (Weekend Reflections # 146)

Grapevine, Texas

I hope she didn't mind me getting so close. Sometimes I go on auto-pilot when I see a reflection. :-)

Wild Bill's (Weekend Reflections # 132)

Dallas, Texas   (Wild Bill's Western Store)

 -Note: I'm gone for the weekend but I should be back on Sunday night. (Je prends des petites vacances ce week-end, mais Je reviens dimanche soir.)

This might be the place to go if you need custom made cowboy boots. I just stopped for the reflection after I had a Texas BBQ dinner across the street.

You  probably noticed that Linky Tools server went down last week. It seems to be fixed now though.

Granbury Texas (Weekend Reflections # 129)

Granbury, Texas

While I was in the Dallas/Fort Worth area last week I took a drive and ended up in a town called Granbury. This is a reflection of the Hood County Courthouse in the window of a women's clothing store.  You can see a green dress and necklace on the left and a colorful purse in the center but when I took the shot I just saw the reflections.
