On the angle of that 5th photo - I have no idea what I did differently, other than I was across the street and angled the shot upward. I was trying to capture the curved building at the corner and I liked the way it turned out. My phone is the ultimate camera for dummies, lol.
We had the best brisket I've ever had at Ennis, Tx before we got into Dallas on our first day. It's Ruston Cattle Co and it's about 30 mi south of Dallas on I45. Other than that we ate at a really good local burger place right across from our hotel downtown - not much to look at but really good burgers - and then we were on our way back because we only went there for the Bulls game, lol.
