Been years since I worked in downtown Dallas, and the landscape has changed greatly. I took an afternoon to scope things out a few weeks ago, and then played with the Picasa3 editing software. Enjoyed doing both.

Black, White, and Geometric

1. These are great!
Love all the angles and geometry. The touch of colour in the first one is perfect and I really like the contrasting colours in the fourth one.

3. Thanks.....
......I enjoy architectural photography, and the B&W effect always seems to add to the "clean-ness" of the geometry.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Picasa editing tools, and they have several others I still want to play with.

4. Appreciate your comment........
.....and I'm going to try and come back more often than I have in the past.

It's fun trying to come up with just the right caption, as well, so I'm glad you enjoyed them.

6. Hi, Blue........
......and I even managed to post them so they actually appear. LOL!!! Thanks again for your previous help with that issue. Caught up on back posts yesterday, as well, and loved some of your recent shots. Just braving the temperatures you've had should qualify you for an award.

Maybe a future monthly contest should be "How brave do you have to be to take a picture?" I think you'd win, (cold) hands down.
