New York Times Travel
The Houston rodeo is beyond Texas-size. There’s an international wine competition, a championship contest for barbecue and a state-fair-size carnival with roller coasters and Ferris wheels. A guinea pig competition offers awards for best fur coat and a sprawling shopping area sells everything from handmade leather chairs to turquoise jewelry. The evenings are capped off by fireworks, drone shows and concerts in a 72,200-seat stadium; this year’s performers include Reba McEntire, Journey and Post Malone.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo highlights musical headliners that raise funds for agriculture and arts scholarships in the tens of millions every year. It's wonderful to see the HLSR in the NYT!

My grandparents took me to this as a child and I instantly cried and hated it because of how the animals were treated. Truly sad that these things still exist. It is animal abuse!

Let’s see, are there any other possible ways we could exploit, traumatize, or abuse animals? Nope, think we’ve pretty much covered them all here.

The Houston Rodeo is where I attended my first concert: Dolly Parton live in the Astrodome. I think it was 1978, so I was 9 or 10 years old. She came in singing while standing in the back of the pick up truck that circled the field. ❤️

All lies. Don’t come. Houston is full. 😂 I’m kidding. Houston Rodeo is a treasure. If you don’t like a PEACEFUL inclusive funky good time, it ain’t for you. No foolishness allowed!

One photo from a landscape photography travel destination followed by one photo from Denmark my home country. Once it clicked and I figured I could probably get something along the same lines as what I’ve captured out there in world, whether it’s the same conditions, same subject, same technique or same composition, it became soooo much more fun to shoot at home. It really did change my photography forever! No we still don’t have mountains, epic waterfalls, cracking glaciers, puffins, whales and big deserts, but we have so many other things. Check out my latest video on YouTube where I teach you to photograph locally. AND if you want to dig even further into local landscape photography be sure to get me and @nigel.danson course on Mastering Local Landscape Photography.In this 4+ hour and 13 video course we’ll be teaching you how to find great locations, how to use them optimally, what strategies to use to optimise your chance of getting great photos, what to do on location, how to compose, edit and print what you capture, what apps to use and much more! This ENTIRE course can be yours for only $99! Check it out via the link in my bio 🤓
