I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays. Every year, I try to get around to different parts of town, take a photograph of the Christmas Tree and then post it. This year, I went to TCU and photographed their tree.

An explosion heavily damaged the Sandman Signature Hotel this afternoon. 21 people were injured. It was built in 1920 as the W.T. Waggoner Building.

These are not the best photos of the eclipse, but I did get a chance to capture it. I was in Johnson County, 18 miles south of my house.

Work is finishing up on Deco 969. Parking has been striped along Commerce, but the barricades have not been removed. However, I did walk along the sidewalk in front of the building. I captured this nice photo of the base of the building, complete with a couple of cyclists.

This is a new photograph of the base of Deco 969 at night. Apartments inside are leasing.

When I was outside of Deco 969 at night, I also took a close-up photo of the entrance.

The dedication of the T&P Station Passage project was earlier in the week. This is a photo taken on Saturday morning.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
