FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Cowtown

Taken June 13, 2026

The Fort Worth Stock Yards lie a couple of miles north of the central part of the city, a conglomeration of historic buildings, quasi-museums, bars, and western-wear shops. Once a thriving commercial hub where cattle were boarded onto railways, the district now serves as a sort of historical party zone, where concert goers, tourists, and day-drinkers stumble across the brick streets and seek shade from the hot Texas sun.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!

Want a print?

For those desperate for some wall decor or simply infatuated with one of my photos, prints are now available for a nominal fee - basically ‘at cost’. Send me an email with your request, and I’ll make it happen.
