My Map Pins (18): Pioneer Plaza, Dallas (Posted March 2021)

 It’s good to be surprised when you travel. Most of the time, as tourists, we get directed or transported to all the significant places, or we use TripAdvisor, or a city guide, and we set off to see the sights with a sense of purpose. So when you just chance upon something amazing it can be oddly moving. It happened to me in Dallas when I was simply mooching along a sidewalk minding my own business. This cattle drive at a road junction turns out to be the biggest bronze artwork in the world. I had never heard of it! It commemorates a nineteenth century cattle drive that took place along the Shawnee Trail, and it consists of 49 larger-than life cattle and three mounted cowboys. It is quite an astonishing piece of work in an otherwise fairly dull city.  Mooching can pay off.  You heard it here.
