Houston: Montrose & Midtown Townhome Madness
Took these pics on my bike ride on my HTC Sensation camera from Montrose to Downtown via Buffalo Bayou to Midtown and back. The areas in question are roughly west and southwest of Downtown.
It's really hard to capture the organized chaos that is Houston. Personally I love the organic growth and grit that is Houston and wouldn't want to change for the world. Although, I wouldn't mind a bit of direction involving infrastructure, mostly concerning parking, sidewalks, and utilities. It started getting dark near the end and I am using a camera phone so be nice.
Starting off in Lower Montrose
