Work has sent me to Dallas for a month. I've been wandering around the city centre and took some photos.

An unrelated company nearby. They may be bankrupt, but they still have nice offices. |

Nortel used to be in the telecommunications business. |

I can't get used to the way the woods here smell of neither pine nor eucalyptus. |

It's not true that everyone in Texas drives, and here is the proof: my local DART station. |

The DART took me to downtown Dallas. The streets are quiet and a little sleepy. There's not even much traffic. |

There are actually very few skyscrapers in Dallas. This is the biggest; it's the Bank of America Plaza. |

The Old Red Courthouse (old meaning 1890). |

It is superbly gargoyled. |

This is a replica of the first house in Dallas (built by John Neely Bryan in 1839. The original, not the replica.). |

The infamous book depository. The grassy knoll is just off to the left. Lee's window is the square one on the 5th floor (UK style) with the half-open window. |

Kennedy's cenotaph. It's completely empty apart from a stone slab in the middle. |

And now here's a naked woman on a cow. |

The map said there was a park here... |
