A few more photos from our recent trip to Oklahoma. Within the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge we climbed Mount Scott…. or at least drove up. It’s around 2400 feet tall and the 9th tallest point in the state. It offers panoramic views of the Oklahoma Prairie below The photo doesn’t do justice to howContinue reading “Mount Scott, Oklahoma”

Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma
Took a trip last weekend North-West of DFW to Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It’s 60,000 acres of unspoiled prairie land, with over 600 resident buffalo. Apparently due to the amount of rocks beneath the soil surface it was impossible to plough and turn into agricultural land, so it was left in it’sContinue reading “Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma”

Went out last night to watch a preseason friendly at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas between Barcelona & Juventus.

A few random photos from the last few years
Thought i’d share some photos i’ve taken over the last few years at a few different places around the USA. There’s not really a theme of the photos just a very random bunch which i thought i’d like to edit.
Downtown Dallas, Texas
It’s been a while since i shared any photos on here so thought i’d add some photos from Dallas earlier this spring. Over the last few years i’ve done a lot more wildlife than street photography, so for a change i’ve edited some images from Downtown.
San Antonio, Texas
A few more images from visiting San Antonio in May. On reflection i would definitely rank it amongst my favourite cities I’ve visited in America. Aside from the Spanish Missions (here’s my post about those for anyone who’s interested) https://lone-star-lore.com/2021/07/31/spanish-missions-san-antonio-texas/ there is a lot of other stuff to do and visit there. In this postContinue reading “San Antonio, Texas”

Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas
With the temporary reprieve in lockdown rules here in Texas a few weeks ago we managed to visit the Stockyards in Fort Worth. For anyone who hasn’t been or heard of it before i highly recommend you go there if you’re ever in North Texas. The Stockyards are a site of huge historic importance forContinue reading “Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas”
