Pretty busy yesterday, not much time to mess around. Had a few minutes in Strawn, TX to grab some pics.
Abandoned old Bankhead Hotel & Apts. Somebody has refreshed the old sign.

No idea what this was. I'll try to find out next time I'm out that way.

Old Chevy truck

Another old building reverting back to its elements.

The backside of the competition to the famous Mary's Cafe. Mary's pretty much keeps Strawn on the map. Good grub. A former employee decided to strike out on her own and set up shop across the street from Mary's. Looks like the kitchen burned. Mary's has no more competition except for a kolache/burger joint.

Still trying to figure out what this place was in its heyday. Just N of town on SH16.

Ain't much water out there to board with.

Maybe the price of board was too steep for the water out that way...

Reckon a pound of .44 ball and 630 grs of ffg loaded into my new toy should settle the hash of these pesky zombies?

Road pics

Good idea to have photos of your travels. Be nice to print them out at the end of each year and have a annual album as a remembrance.

I stopped and snapped a few while I was driving down a gravel road on the way to the sitter's house this morning.

It looks like either the effect of image processing or someone in front of you was really kicking up that gravel!

It was quite foggy this morning but the processing did add something to it.
Here are the before and after shots.

Been a pretty busy week. Been pushing three crews around and none of 'em in the same county. Lots of miles and not much time for pictures.
Here's a sample of the week for ya

Old log house on Puddin Valley Rd, Jack County, TX.
http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Sept28006.jpg

I wasn't kidding about the road name.
http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Sept28009.jpg

Wed morning I think.
http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Sept28013.jpg

This morning was SPECTACULAR!

Hawk watched the sun come with me.
http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Sept28026.jpg

This afternoon was WET! Wall cloud on IH20 at Brock Junction.

You've upgraded Wullie, from cemeteries to sunsets, beautiful.

I know where Puddin Valley Road is; it's just south of Shakey Puddin Drive.

Them be sunrises. :) Usually by sunset, I'm looking at it through the back window and I've got my mind set on gettin home.

I'm still doing cemetery pics too. ;)

The Cowboy's new headstone.

Couple from the "old" Gordon Cemetery I thought interesting.

Earlier this year we had the perigee moon.
Just what paramedics love... an extra big full moon.
This was taken from the top of an apartment building while my partner & the police were chatting to the nice lady...

Attachment 107860

Early morning drive round the waterfront heading for home.
Looking across the harbour to the city lights in the distance...

Attachment 107861

Back at base and having a play with longer exposures on night mode...
Definitely a pic of the road.

There would be a subject climbing up the building & entering throuh the balcony.

Looking across the harbour to the city lights in the distance...

There would be a dark 30' cigarette with no running lights, off loading a few Square Grouper.

Attachment 107863

Back at base and having a play with longer exposures on night mode...
Definitely a pic of the road.

The street would be glittering, from the moonlight reflecting off the spent Wolf 7.62 casings scattered about.

Saw this fully restored 1912 Ford at the station. The fellow said he did all the work. It could be a kit for all I know, but I thought it was pretty cool.
