JULY 30

Sugar Land TX

Weekly Challenge #68 - Hometown
Our "downtown" is modern. The old buildings were torn down a long, long time ago.
Sugar Land didn't have much to speak of, it wasn't really anything more than plantation land and a sugar mill's company town.

I think you captured the best of all of what there is there,
this is a lovely composition and the British red phone booth is
making the photo. Superb compo Lynn and this terrasse is very inviting too!
Lets go share a café latté... ;))

There is quite an ambiance in this photo. Love the red telephone box, quite European.

This reminds me of a wonderful shopping area in Columbus, OH (they also have a red phone booth there).
As I've said before, I could easily live in Sugar Land! (except for the heat....)

That red UK telephone box certainly caught my eye and attention!! It goes well with the red planters, together with the wrought iron fence, adds a touch of elegance to that corner. V

With the phone box, the awnings, metal work and outside tables a nice attempt has been made to create a comfortable atmosphere.
