Galleria


Last night I went to downtown in Houston, looking for the traditional Christmas lights decorations, but seriously, the downtown was looking more like an abandoned city than a city on Christmas. Just a very few walkers, some more homeless dudes, and that's it! Then my brother proposed Galleria, a town next to Houston, a place where he said is inhabited by rich people and for sure the City Hall spent more money to put some Christmas decorations on streets. And he was right!

And a joke for the cold season!

Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie?
They had gone to see "Closed for the Winter"!

  7. For a moment I thought, Christmas was just around the corner again...
    happy, happy, joy ,joy... and why shouldn't everyday be like Christmas ?

    You really did a fantastic job with the manipulations in this shot,the big bad moon added an extra dimension to it!

    p.s. here is a blonde joke for you:
    "How do you know, if a blonde has been using your computer ?
    You find correction fluid on the screen !"

  10. I remember when the Galleria was built and I went once...but it was full of very expensive shops and even a postcard was out of my range. This is lovely and you did a great job putting it together.

  11. How amazing! I had no idea that this was a photomanipulation, which just goes to show what I know... I love the clarity of this and that moon really makes this shot. For some reason it reminds me of a "Seasonal" photograph I used to see in the long vanished pages of OMNI Magazine...STILL my favorite magazine, though it's no longer in existence. Great work!
