my pics of Fort Worth

Fort Worth in early June. about 10 years since my first trip there (a paid senior vacation...thanks science fair. it's still a great place. IMO one of the most underrated downtowns around. i also field tested my new camera (i didn't bring the DSLR to Iraq,) the Cannon Powershot SX100 IS; I like it a bit, possibly the ultimate “pocket” camera

Fort Worth has some awesome architecture, even the newer stuff. The 12-story building to the left in shot 63 with the extensive detailed brickwork is actually only a few years old. Great shots as usual, LSyd.

Fort Worth has a completely different vibe than Dallas.. it feels more Texan, less world-class. But it's still a very cosmopolitan city. Great pics as always LS.

Wow, great shots. I love to see Fort Worth in pics, and knowing that I can visit downtown every day is great.

Nice diversity in the buildings and citizens.

Fort Worth has created a great, livable downtown; it embraced its cowtown heritage and made the livestock culture truly fit in as a part of its unique and very urban fabric.

I like the Barnes and Noble and the building with the suit of armor in the niche.
