Or, did I miss the point of this thread?

Thats under the grandstands at TMS - Right?

I would think there would be a lot of good spots at Kemah on the boardwalk - on an early Sunday morning maybe!

Another vote for Vintage Park shopping center in NW Houston. We were more concerned with the cars than the background so there are much nicer photo spots than seen here.

On the beach yes. In the water, not so much.

There's some old grain silo's at I-10 and the beltway that I've wanted to take pictures of. Haven't tried yet though. There's some at Hempstead Hwy and 610/I-10 but you might get shot there

Not an old building, however, I always liked the pic of my old C5 and Minute Maid.

I noticed them last Sunday! I'll try and remember to stop by sometime and see what the options are.

Thanks

The silos are right next door to my business. (Shenoy Stone) The silos are currently inside the property owned by Shadowdale Boat Storage. It is a gated entry, so I don't think it'll be easy to get in. You might have to lie to them that you want to check out the storage options. Another thing is that Gas Head Motorsports operates from one of the big storage warehouses in the back of the silos. You might call Clint over there and ask him if he'd be willing to let you in to take photos and such.
