Detteo Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Nice pictures. Just an FYI the area that you said is the galleria is actually NW highway and 75, it is around Northpark Mall. That crazy satellite dish looking thing, ive always wondered what that is why driving along 35 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deut28Thirteen Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Great Pics of H-Town & and the Big D! I always liked the Dallas skyline because of Fountain Place and their JPMorgan Chase Tower. The ones I liked the best were of TMC, it truly is a city within a city. Some other citys would die for the Texas Medical Center skyline. And the pic of the Spaghetti Bowl was perfect. I think its the best one in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Thx for all the comments. Oops on the Dallas Galleria. Well, It all sort of looks the same from the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Fun pics Boris, and I especially like the Med Center pics. It's amazing to see how dense the area is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Awesome photos. It seems like every time I fly it is too cloudy to take pictures of Houston. I am very impressed with these though. I almost don't need to take any myself now! I agree with Gary, the TMC is really impressive from the air! I love the aerial shot of Rice too!

tcole Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The "satellite dish" looking thing is actually a VOR beacon. Specifically, it is designated COWBOY, given its proximity to Texas Stadium. The metroplex has three primary VORs - that one, a sister beacon on the west side of DFW Airport named RANGER, and one centrally located in the median of International Pkwy south of the terminals at DFW Airport named MAVERICK. VOR stands for (V)ery High Frequency (O)mni-directional ( R )adio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 That has to be the best photo I've seen of the Med Center. I never realized how dense it has become. Great pictures as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Great pics all around, Boris, but those TMC photos were off the charts. I counted eight cranes in the TMC area alone. Schhhhhhweeeeet!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
