Fair Park (Part Two)

The new Top O'Texas Ride with the Texas Star in the background.
Yesterday, was a great day at Fair Park. The post from  Sunday  was images of the new Top O'Texas ride being built there. While at Winfrey Point later in the afternoon, the tower could be seen from the Point. That's about 8-10 miles from Fair Park and it stands as tall as the KERA tower that it is built next to.  That tower has towered over the landscape for a very long time. Now, it's going to have a neighbor!

This post will continue were yesterdays left off.

In the past, I did a shoot of the "Gas Monkey Garage" featured on A&E network. Dr. Moe, of Texas Storage Wars was at Fair Park yesterday.His gallary store is across town on Riverfront Blvd in the Design District. Hope to shoot over there in the not so distant future. While I couldn't get a shot of him from there,at Fair Park, I was able to get a shot of the Twisted House from the A&E show, "Shipping Wars". If you saw that episode, you will recall that Chris and his partner had hauled the house to within a mile of Fair Park from Portland,Me., when the load shifted. Well, the house is behind the Cotton Bowl currently at Fair Park and there is  a shot of that. Also, while there, I got the image of the famed art deco sculpture that is an amazing piece. And, the Tactical Services Division of the Dallas Police Department that houses the mounted unit and the K-9 unit was discovered along with the Pan American meeting rooms with the auction area at the state fair was also discovered. All in all, there was a lot of discoveries made at Fair Park yesterday.
