Couldn't stop on the freeway for the expanse of the Houston skyline you asked for Pat but this one from the Bayou that runs through downtown shows a part of it anyway along with some 'nature'. That's why we're called the "Bayou City". Will work on the full expanse when I want to play on the freeways. Enjoy and thanks for coming by. Anita

The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.
This is nice as well ... The sky here is very pretty ..well done

Fantastic skyline Anita! and wonderful natural colours! I just love the way the sky is reflecting on the buildings! It reminds me of when I was in Calgary in May - so many glass buildings all reflecting each other and the sky! excellent! Patti

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
Some have noticed the beautiful greenery so close to downtown. We have Memorial Park and the Bayou that are close and in downtown. Memorial Park is actually bigger than Central Park in New York. They are working to make the Bayou similar to the riverwalk in San Antonio. Right now it's mostly trails and beautiful nature walks...not spoiled by restaurants yet :) I love to go there in the mornings and walk so now I take the new Rebel with me even tho I still enjoy my little Canon Powershot S60. Thanks for your very kind words. Have a great day. Anita

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
Hi Anita, I like the contrast between the trees and the tower blocks, with the river running through it. The whole landscape looks so well balanced, and in harmony with each other.
Thanks for sharing this...Tony

this skyline is just great. it was taken from the perfect place because it allows the buildings to be set off by the bridges. jen

A very nice view of the city skyline Anita. I didn't realize Houston was called the "Bayou City", so I learned something new today. Wonderful clarity & detail you captured here. Excellent post & thank you for sharing.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
This is beautiful.They say that the high towers are not beautiful, but this has nevertheless something.

it is a beautiful picture but I do not like the buldings to high and to much glass but enough glass to get a reflection of the sky in it.

It is a wonderful picture as always. Now I want to go there even more than before.

Most people lye asleep and notice nothing around them. Just wake up and see the natural beauty around you. It will blow you away.
This is my favourite, from your Houston Photos, Anita! The sky is lovely and I like reflections of clouds on the skyscraper - if I am using the right word - we don't have any of them in Yorkshire!

Very nice shot, well done. I have a shot from a bridge I want to desperately get, have considered faking a break down to get it.

I highly recommend not playing on the freeways. This is a wonderful perspective right here from the Bayou.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
This is great Anita. I have never seen this view before. Fantastic. The Houston skyline is so beautiful. I would always admire it as I drove through, especially at night. Thks so much for your trouble. However, I think it turned out as a good one for everybody, judging from the response.

COME SEE MY GALLERY
Some interesting and unusual images and contrasts here- vertical buildings, horizontal bridges, roundness in the clouds and trees. The countless windows in the buildings remind me of computer data. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
Pat is right Anita. I think we all are enjoying this as much as she. Your photo here is composed so well. It shows off a little of everything from the water to the skies. Very nicely done for a great lady.

This is really nice, and I never like pictures of freeways but you've really pulled it off nicely with all the green and the wonderful reflections of the sky on the buildings. Very pretty! Thanks for sharing. :)
