An Afternoon in Fort Worth, Texas

Our first glimpse of Fort Worth.

Cowtown Brewing Company

has curbside service.

There's a lot to do here: Visit the Stockyards, the National Cowgirl Museum, American Airlines CR Smith Museum, the US Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Breweries, Restaurants...  

The Fort Worth Street Signs

have Long Horn Cattle logos.

Eric and I are visiting two outdoor attractions today.

Man With a Briefcase by Jonathan

 Borofsky is located at the western

entrance to downtown.

The glass-sided skyscraper

reminds me of buildings in

downtown Dallas.

Eric & I start

our stroll in

Fort Worth

Water Gardens.

The Water Gardens were designed by architect Philip Johnson.  The gardens are an oasis of quiet in downtown Fort Worth.  They have been used for filming scenes in the original Logan's Run movie and the 1980 TV film Lathe of Heaven.   

The Active Water Pool...

... is currently inactive.

Steps lead down to the

Aerated Water Pool

A man flies his drone nearby,

at the top center of the photo.

I walk along an elevated

water trough.

The pool below the

water trough

Water gently flows down

"steps" into this shallow

pool.

The Fort Worth Convention Center

is just steps away from the

 Gardens.

Eric examines the building and notes that the windows follow the same lines as the brickwork.

 

I examine the cantilevered

sections of a nearby 

skyscraper.

Eric and I return to our car and head southwest to Bay Landing RV Campground in Bridgeport.  We expect to return to Fort Worth in a few years when there are more tourism options available.
