On the way to our hotel in Houston we stopped downtown for about 15 minutes to observe the city.  I originally had no idea that downtown Houston was so vibrant and lively.  A common theme I noticed was the use of color as well as reflectivity.  The larger buildings shared a reflective facade while the smaller scale buildings tended to use a lot of color.  Normally I wouldn’t think these two realms could be done so close together, but I realized that they could and they actually complemented each other.  Here are a few photos from the trip of downtown Houston.
