One from a few weeks ago in town. The Clear Fork of the Trinity River right in town. A non descript section of the river in the image (it is better nearby with rocky ledges and spills) but I loved the brooding quality of the sky.
Looks like the area just West of Beech, near the church. I did some shooting there last spring and summer. Good place to shoot Egrets, Herons and Kingfishers. If it is the place I remember, there is a low-water dam downstream.

I know the area west of Beach well, and I see the similarities, but that is not this. This is over by Bryant Irvin.
One of the great hidden secrets of Cowtown is that we have trails that run most of the Trinity River through town. I can go from Benbrook Dam, clear through downtown, divert to the Stockyards (a creek goes UNDER them), and east out past Beach. Many miles of both paved for the blades and gravel for foot and horse traffic.
Some great photo opportunities all along it.

Darren, I really like the sky as you pointed out, it has a lot of character. The landscape is nice but doesn't move me too much.
There is a lot of room left in the conversion to really make this pop. The darkest pixels are at 15 and the brightest are at 240. A curves adjustment to set the B & W points would really provide some nice contrast. Just a suggestion, thanks for sharing.
