Greenway Plaza Huston A storm approaching
I could not decide whether to post this image its certainly not what you would call pretty . Nevertheless I like the way the sun catches the building set against a very menacing sky. Some people will find this not easy on the eye will post something less harsh tomorrow.
This was taken from our bedroom of the Doubletree hotel in Greenway Plaze in Houston Texas . One of the oddest hotels I have ever stayed in, the hotel was very quiet and it was in the middle of this very futuristic architecture there was a total absence of people it was like being in some weird Sci Fi set.
We only spent one night in Houston it was not a successful trip . Driving into the city was crazy there seemed to be about twenty lanes of road some tolled some not I took a toll lane by mistake not a good plan we ended up picking up a fine . Leaving Houston was even worse there was torrential rain and the I 10 interstate was closed in our direction . The GPS diverted me down some Texas backroads by then the rain was so heavy the Chevy was aquaplaning all over the road . I have driven thousands of miles in the USA and this was the first time I was scared . Eventually we got back onto the freeway and made in to Lafayette without any further problems it was a long day behind the wheel.
The reason we went to Houston was just to see the Chapel containing some huge Marc Rothko murals . It was interesting to see them but they left me fairly unmoved I much prefer the Seagram murals in Tate Modern in London . You win some and you lose some thats the fun of travelling
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
