It was a hard decision to not go to the fireworks at Fair Park yesterday. The heat isn't good for an old man like me. My prescription bottles even say that I should avoid the sun and long exposures to the heat. So by the time mid morning rolled around, it was time to get out for a couple of hours before it got really hot.
Cleaning up after the fireworks was in full force today. It usually is a cool time to get some interesting shots. Also, one of the stations had been moved from the Railroad Museum to its new home in Frisco within the past week. The rolling stock is scheduled to be moved over live tracks later on this month. While at Fair Park I wanted to check out the train situation. I pointed Nikon Buggy toward Fair Park and headed out.

As expected, the 177-acre park of streets, museums, restaurants, etc., crews were busy all over the place. The interesting shots abounded,too. In keeping with the prescription warning, I parked in the shade, traveled in the shade and shot from the shade. A limit in some sense but still manageable, all things considered.
