West Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 What a hideous collection of ugly buildings. There's no unity. Those buildings don't work well together. It looks like none of the builders took any consideration of the other buildings around it. One of those buildings even looks like it has a refinery on the roof.

The Great Hizzy! Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 You know, I just now realized how much the BELO Tower and the Lyric Center in Houston resemble each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 That night photo is great! My biggest complaint with the Dallas skyline is that the Bank of America building never looks quite right with a flat top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeebus Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Great Day/Night Shots Texas Star. The tall building in the middle, with the green neon running the length of the buidling - what is its name? Also, is the green neon a little to gaudy - or is it just me?

Dallasite Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The tall green one you mentioned is the Bank of America Building.I do not think it is gaudy, but it is all about personal preference...I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 A little gaudy maybe, but nothing wrong with that. Gives it some color. It's been that way for so long it must be kind of a landmark for the city by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Are there any other examples of highrises with neon that run vertically the length of the building? I'm thinking this is the first building I've ever seen lit like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Great Day/Night Shots Texas Star. The tall building in the middle, with the green neon running the length of the buidling - what is its name? Also, is the green neon a little to gaudy - or is it just me?it look better than our skyline at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think the BoA is fine how it is... this angle however, it looks a bit skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Not a very comparible view I agree. This would be a little more comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonfella Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I agree. This would be a little more comparable. You are correct. This one shows the greenery that the picture I posted did not as it was aerial and the surface lots were visible rather than the treetops. Thanks.

Thanks.I am not arguing that Houston has a bigger skyline...I know it does...I am from there. However, the Houston picture shows the length of the Skyline, while the Dallas picture does not. You guys know that Dallas can be seen better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have seen some georgous pictures of Dallas lately on this forum. Very nice. There is also a person who goes by "Ninja" something over at the DFW forum. He has some downright awesome shots over there.I would like to see some of the same quality pics of Houston. The one angle I have yet to see is something from the souteast side, which shows all the older and smaller buildings in-filling in the front of the larger behmoth modern skyscrapers in the back. I know there are some shots from the Scott Elevated, but I havent seen something of the quality you see lately coming out of some of the Dallas photographers. If anyone knows of some, please post!!!
