Sun Thursday - Exploring Sun Flowers

in #sunthursday7 years ago (edited)

The Mueller Town Center District is still under a lot of development. There's a brand new Alamo Drafthouse and Irish pub, but until they build something else there is a large field in the middle that has been overrun by sunflowers.

Yesterday I went out and braved the 100+ degrees farenheit to snap some shots of these magnificent flowers.

Some of them are even taller than the tower at Dell Children's Medical Center (at the right angle of course).

This is definitely the most sunflowers I have ever seen in one place (except I guess when I watched Everything is Illuminated). They aren't that tightly packed, but they cover a very large area.

One could get lost in the yellow and green jungle and never be heard from again.

I love these last few shots as the sun was getting closer to setting, giving me that wonderful orange light.

WOW that does look a lot of them you got some awesome shots, braving temps that high for some photos that is dedication :)

It was even hotter in the middle of the day, and the light is also better near sundown. But yeah, I was quite sweaty after this. Worth it though.

TOtally worth it :)

Greetings! Are you surviving the wasteland that is summer in Texas?

Barely... I've considered moving to CO just to escape this tangible hell.
