2. Deep Ellum - You know this place is southern because the name is a countrified version of the phrase deep elm. But that is where the country ends in this neighborhood. The streets are filled with the unique individuals who march to the beat of a drum only they can hear. The streets are lined with walls covered in magnificent graffiti. Reminiscent of New York but without the grit and grime. The walls, the people and the dwellings all make for interesting subject matter.
3. Japanese Gardens - Although the gardens are technically in Fort Worth, Texas, it is only a short drive. For the photographic opportunities presented here it is well worth the trip. You may be thinking that this is just another place filled with plants, shrubs and trees and you would be way off the mark. Well, they are there but it is nothing like any garden you have seen before. The structure of the trees and shrubs are molded using Japanese gardening techniques. The vegetation, stone, earth and the water all combine to present a breathtaking tableau. H=You could even get pictures of the KOI fishthat is if you can stop petting them.
4. Dealy Plaza - The site of the Assassination of President Kennedy has the historical value you will want to include in any album of a visit to Dallas. The Red Brick school building is still the same as it was on November 22,1963. All that has changed is the height of the trees.
