Unfortunate situation [which could have been catastrophic] - I came home from walking my dog this evening, and in the twenty or so minutes I was gone, a woman had been hit by the light-rail on Main St. next to my apartment. Miraculously, she survived. I was able to get some photos from a rooftop as they were hydraulically lifting the train off of the tracks to remove her from underneath it.

When I saw the chaos and my friend told me what had happened, I was afraid that we were going to see them remove a body. Though no doubt horrifically unpleasant for her having been critically injured, I am glad she was able to pull through - thanks to these people who put their lives on the line every day for Houston citizens.

The lusciously lit, recently renovated Harris County 1910 Courthouse - taken on a beautifully clear, crisp, and cool evening.

There is nothing I love more than shooting nighttime architecture, so it made my evening being able to capture this magnificent, historically-renovated slice of our beautiful downtown, with great lighting conditions to do so.
