F/L The lighting here is outstanding! I like the effect it has on the buildings and the petrified wood. It all comes together to make a stunning image with an excellent composition.

Interesting landmark! Love the colors and tones here and the clouds just make it even more appealing! Nice work!

Thank you Bob, I'll check in to that as we do have it, but no "petrified forests" that I know about, but Texas is a big place with lots of mystery.

I've been looking at this a long time wondering how long it takes to do that and where they got all the wood. Very awesome photography Bob - Americana / futuristic / Vintage :) L/F/G/T/SU/P

Wonderful..better than a postcard. I used to travel through Decatur as a landman. Guess I missed it a lot of times. Jake
