About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

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 :)























The pictures were taken on February 07-09, 2025.
