Dallas City Hall at Night by Terence Russell
About the design: “When you do a city hall, it has to convey an image of the people, and this had to represent the people of Dallas… The people I met – rich and poor, powerful and not so powerful – were all very proud of their city. They felt that Dallas was the greatest city there was, and I could not disappoint them.” – I.M. Pei I.M. Pei’s modernist inverted pyramid design is a result from space requirements of city government. Public areas and citizen services required much less space than offices that ran the government; cantilevered building levels allowed for the upper levels to house the offices. The building slopes at a 34-degree angle, with each of the seven above-grade floors being 9½ feet wider than the one below. This inclined façade interacts with the buildings it faces downtown and provides protection from the weather and Texas sun. The foundation and basement levels are considerably wider than the apparent footprint of the structure, extending out beneath the inclined facade. The cantilevered roof is 200 feet (61 meters) wide, the ground floor is 126 feet (38.4 meters) wide, and the basement 230 feet (70.1 meters) wide.[6] When Mayor Jonsson reacted to the apparent top-heaviness of the building’s shape, three cylindrical pillars that appear the hold up the structure were created.These contain stairwells that had originally been concealed within the design. These pillars only provide visual support and do not bear the load of the building. Pei also persuaded the city to acquire an additional six acres in front of the building as a plaza and buffer zone for his grand public structure. A 1,325-car parking garage was built beneath the plaza, and the extra income helped supplement the funding of the building. A buff-colored concrete was chosen for the main building material; its color resembled local earth tones. Since concrete was both the primary structural and finish material, close attention was paid to every aspect of its mix and placement. Dallas City Hall appears in the movie RoboCop serving as Omni Consumer Products headquarters. Matte painting is used in the movie in order to give the appearance of a much taller building. Appears in Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Lathe of Heaven”. Dallas City Hall makes multiple appearances during the four seasons of the television series Lois and Clark as “Star Labs” from the comic book series Superman. from Wikipedia Camera info / Canon EOS Rebel T1i / Tamron 18-275mm lens / F-stop f/3.5 / Exposure 2 secs / ISO 100 / Focus 18mm HDR data / tripod, 3 RAW images +2 to -2, Photomatrix Pro 3.2

Rapa Nui by Bezay
You would think Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean… yes? Nope this is in Hunt Texas, west of Austin. this Statue is at least 20 feet tall and a smart likeness to the original. Did a time exposed shot at night and loved the shadows and stars. No one is really sure what happened to the Rapa Nui or even sure how they were able to construct or erect thousands of these statues all around the island. One thing is certain, one of two hypothesis, they were fervently religious or two, they were driven by a dictatorship 7TH PLACE in the / About The Sky Challenge / in the / Statues and Such Group Statues and Such Group Texas Group & What A Shot group

About This Group
Welcome to the BIG State of Texas! The Lone Star State is the second largest State (Alaska is the largest) in the United States. The goal of the Texas Group is to showcase all of the wonderful beauty, long history, and diverse culture that Texas has to offer, but also all of the great Texas artists.
This group is primarily for those who live in Texas, but is open to anyone who would like to share their work while visiting Texas. All photography must have been shot in Texas, with the location listed in the description, and all art must have a Texas theme. Think of it this way; if someone had never been to Texas before, the work you submit should give them a visual image of Texas life or landscape. Do you have a tall Texas tale? Send us your best Texas writing also!
Texas is BIG and Texans are proud, so let’s show the world that EVERYTHING really IS…BIGGER in Texas!
Enjoy!
Charles
