Houstonist Flickr Group Photo of the Day - Moon Over Downtown

The shot from flickr user and houstonist photo contributor cpm1.

This moon is probably considered on downtown, more than over downtown. This is the Texaco Heritage Plaza building downtown. Some quick facts about the buiding from Emporis:

- Texaco Heritage Plaza's granite, stepped pyramid cap was inspired by architect Mohammed Nasr's vacation in the Yucatán.
- The crown of the tower is said to resemble a Bald Eagle with its head and wings. The sides of the tower also have angles which appear to be the tips of the wings of the eagle.
- During 1986's historic Rendez-vous Houston concert, the building supported a 20+ story screen constructed of thousands of pieces of canopy, and a completed section of the 18th floor served as a rehersal area for musician Jean-Michel Jarre and his band during bad weather.
