Another grassy knoll in the Dallas area has a statue of the late Ben Carpenter. Old Ben had a dream that became Las Colinas (The Hills for those who no habla). The knoll is just about in the center of what used to be the Carpenter Ranch.

Great shot and narrative Don. I do not need to visit anywhere as you can give me the scoop. Very well done my friend.

Nice capture of both.I agree with Stan, I can call my sister and tell her I don't need to come now... Coincidences too, I was thinking about this earlier after the post of the Mustangs there...

Im so sorry Don, but I don't know Ben Carpenter. Went to 'Google', but didn't become wiser as there were more than 325,000 results for Ben Carpenter.
Think Old Ben has realised his dream, else there wasn't a statue for him. Very good shot anyhow.

Quite nicely composed, Don. A beautiful day for this well done shot, too. Was it 97 in the shade like it was in DC? lol

A good tribute from you to the man who did a lot for the
University of Texas. Nice presentation Don.

Great work here. I like how he seems to be facing the building.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I like the composition. It looks like the statue is walking to the building. The sky is a welcome extra.

Nice post Don. It spurred me to learn about Ben Carpenter. I did just that. He was very visionary. Thanks to you, I learned something new today. Nice photo by the way.
