Galveston BaySan Leon TexasPier

  • We arrived in San Leon and brought rain with us.
  • That made the view from the deck kind of special; it gave the place an ethereal fell to it, probably because of the blurring of the sea-sky interface.
  • This was more the typical day . . . sunny and hot.<br /> <br /> Take note of the house next door. Specifically the siding. Notice the peppering of pelican droppings. <br /> <br /> Everything gets peppered as they cruise up and down the shoreline.
  • That's Galveston island across the bay. We did not have a chance to go, but we had been before.
  • The bay has a number of wells on it. This one is a gas well.
  • From the doc, looking South. A mixture of old and rebuilt piers.
  • What the water looks like from the end of the pier looking South.
  • From the pier, looking North. More old and rebuilt piers.
  • The water looking North. You can see a small group of pelicans heading South along the shoreline.
  • Looking back toward the house from the end of the pier.
  • It seems like a long way out there.
  • Most of the piers are new because of hurricane Ike. It wiped this area out, destroying nearly all the homes.
  • Most of the pictures are from the second stories deck. You did not really want to be out in the sun a whole lot, so the deck was perfect place to shoot from.
  • The first day . . . three pelicans showing the various position of the wings when flying.
  • I have a fascination with piers.
  • The setting of this one was particularly nice.
  • Especially when framed by the palm trees.
  • A different perspective
  • You can see the wood is relatively new. It has not weathered yet..
  • There are remnants of old piers. The birds seem to like that.
