This was one of our big outdoor activities of the year.
We started at about 4:45 PM Saturday (7/7/07) from Walt Hsu’s store. We estimated coming back in 4 hours. Actually the trip was so enjoyable and rewarding that we used more than 6 hours, coming back to China Town almost 11:00 PM.
Our first target was Deep Ellum, which was too early to have any thing worthy of shooting. The July Texan sun was blazing our excitement into disappointment. We, 6 ladies and 9 men (Lei and Ming joined us later,) walked along Ellum street under the 90s degree hot air like “flies without heads.”
Before we were about to leave with almost noting in our memory cards, Dr. Lai met a Tibetan, who is running a small shop selling all kinds of Tibetan stuffs. On top of his little store business, he is managing and offering touring packages to Tibet, Himalaya, and Nepal, etc, from applying visa, buying air tickets, to actually leading the teams. He said he is back and forth between the US and Tibet about every 6 months. He is friendly and willing to work for anyone.
Our second target was finding the “tuya” wall (scrabbled wall), but in vain. Howard led us to the Convention Center instead, where we took some reflected sky images from a building and a roadside decoration pond.
Because of nowhere to go, we decided to shoot the Dallas landmark, the Reunion Tower. Nobody knew exactly the right place to go; we tried two places, failed, before we finally got to this next to none spot. It is immediately on the southern bank of the Trinity River.
Because of the recent abundant rainfall, the water is high, clean and calm. We all were so appreciated this best angle location that we stayed there from sun shine (7:00 PM) to well after sunset (9:00 PM).
We pull back to the downtown area and went to the “fountain square” to take the night time fountain pictures. We stayed there another 30 minites or so before we were getting tired and resumed the idea of going home.
By now, our gratification was just like the memory cards in our cameras, all were heavily loaded.
The lucky angels sharing the good time are:
Car One:
1. Richard Chen
2. Howard Lie
3. Dennis Chin
4. Joyce Wang
5. Windus Wong
Car Two:
6. Anita Thurmond
7. Frank Lee
8. Deming Zhou
9. Amy Zhou
Car Three:
10. Dr. Lai
11. Ms. Lai
12. Li Su
13. Miss Su
14. Tina Huang
15. Greg Hoh
Car Four:
16. Lei Zhou
17. Ming Zeng
We missed Pauline, David, Walt, JJ, April, Lin, Eric, etc.
