Somebody be so kind to tell me exactly where this picture was taken??????????where is this<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Of seeing images of photos of dallas mostly looking down at the skyline of seeing all the streets and more of aerial photosPeople go on helicopters and take the aerial photosThis picture might of been taken by professional photograpers that stand on something they have to get nice clean shots of these type.

editor Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Warning to dialup users -- this picture is two megs big.It's definately not a professional photo. It doesn't even look like the photographer used a tripod. Based on it having I-35 in the foreground and a railroad tressle spanning the freeway there are only a couple of places this could be.Based on the fact that you can't see Reunion Tower or its neighboring hotel, I'm going to guess from what little I know about Dallas that this was taken south of the city. Also, the bridge across the freeway is a railroad tressle otherwise it wouldn't be so covered in graffiti and the freeway direction signs would be bolted to it if it was a street overpass. Also, since the railroad tressle is poorly maintained I'm going to conclude that it's abandoned.Also, I like how there's a guy parked in front of the no parking sign on the wall. That shows that this is a low-value industrial area where the owners have problems with people (probably teens) hanging out and watching the skyline at night, but the property isn't valuable enough to hire a security guard to chase them away.There is an abandoned railroad tressle spanning I-35E south of Dallas near Cadiz street which appears to be an industrial area based on street name duplication and unnamed street spurs.That's my best guess. But since I only got four hours sleep last night, it could be very wrong. I welcome other opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danes75 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I don't think he's right off the highway. It looks like a cliff and 35 (its been a while since I've been in dallas, so I might be getting the highway designations confused) which could put it somewhere near that Baby Doe's restaurant.

slfunk Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Was someone visiting Lew Sterrett Jail again? You got to be careful of those DWI or PI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's either west or southwest of downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 More than likely, this photo was taken from the grounds of the Dallas County Criminal Courts Building. It is located at 133 Industrial, directly west of downtown.http://mappoint.msn.com/(05lgrp45zmvmyz3mf...2c+TX+75207|L1|If you look to the lower right of the photo, you will see the book depository, Dealey Plaza, and "Big Red", the old Dallas County Courthouse.

The Great Hizzy! Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It looks like it's coming from the west to me. The BOA tower gives it away, going by its position in the skyline relative to the other notable towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Looks like its taken from a little north of Dealy Plaza, on the other side of the freeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumguy8800 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'm from Dallas.. this picture was taken from the parking garage northeast of the red indicator in this google aerial map.. just northeast of commerce @ industrial, east of the trinity river, west of I-35E and Stemmons. The RR on the left is the UPRR.. if the downtown street grid extended this far, you'd be smackdab in the middle of Elm Street or in between Elm and Pacific.

RedScare Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 drumguy,that's the garage for the criminal courts, isn't it? The one just north of your arrow.EDIT: Never mind. It is. If you type in 114 Industrial, it gives a better view. The building to the left is the criminal court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
