Houston, reflections, shapes and shadows...

I've always loved traveling and exploring new places. It's so exciting to spend time in a new city, wander around and learn about it... I spent last weekend in Houston, Texas, but I was busy most of the time and didn't have a chance to explore... too bad...

 
All I had was an hour in the morning and maybe a couple more hours the next afternoon. And the place we stayed wasn't very picturesque or interesting to explore... I wish I had time to go and see the downtown area, but... we had what we had and nothing more. Sure, there were a lot of skyscrapers here and there. But I've never been a fan of them. I mostly find them boring, but... one good thing about skyscrapers is that they use a lot of glass to build them.


And glass means reflections. And reflections usually make things more interesting... And the lack of other attractions in the area made me focus on the imaginary world rather than the reality.



But I also learned a few things about Houston... For example, the sky there in February is very cloudy, and the square windows reflect and pixelate them, creating some kind of artificial reality... It was actually pretty cool.


One of the main attractions in the area is Waterwall Park, and it looks really nice. I can only imagine how popular this place is during the hot summer months, when the mist brings some relief to the guests...



So... let's just walk around and look at the reflections, shapes and shadows... and maybe next time I will find something else to share with you :)
