When we asked you to show us your best Houston photos to commemorate Houston's 175th birthday, we had no idea you were just as in love with the city as we are. And we certainly learned one thing in picking the best photos for our contest: There's nothing like seeing the Bayou City from the eyes of a Houstonian.
And now, without further ado, the contest winners.
When we asked you to show us your best Houston photos [http: /houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/01-04-12-pretty-as-a-picture-for-houston-175th-birthday/] to commemorate Houston's 175th birthday [https://houston.culturemap.com/series/houston-at-175/], we had no idea you were just as in love with the city as we are. And we certainly learned one thing in picking the best photos for our contest: There's nothing like seeing the Bayou City from the eyes of a Houstonian. And now, without further ado, the contest winners. "I was taking pictures for my 3-year-old son's, J. Dominic, birthday invitations. He wanted a cowboy-themed party, so we took some shots at Sam Houston Park and the green space between Memorial and Allen Parkway. It was a typical humid summer afternoon and he was getting very hot and irritated. In his moment of defiance, he turned his back to me and it turned out to be the best shot of the day." - Sergio Davila
