Reunion Tower at Sunset - 07-18-2006, 04:54 PM


I was in the Dallas area (Allen) visiting my sister and taking my 15yr old to a concert, so I ventured into downtown Dallas to see what I could get. Got some so-so shots of the skyline and the West End but this one I really liked...

Very nice, easy to see why you like this one. It is beautiful. Where was the light for the reflection coming from?

Thanks for the comments guys.

The shot was taken from the Sheriff's Department's parking garage across I-35 East. After hours, nobody was there.



Mark, the light is from the post sunset sky. It was a few minutes after 9 (21:06:39 according to the EXIF).

I wish I had gone to the Methodist Medical Center, on Colorado and Beckley, for a really nice shot of the tower with downtown behind it. I read about it here but forgot where it was.

Here's one of the so-so shots of the skyline. Wish I had a better angle. This was taken from I-30 and N. Hampton Rd.
