Battleship Texas 2
Another POV shot from the Battleship Texas this past weekend.
If you not already planning on attending the Armand Bayou event this weekend there will also be a great photo op here at the San Jacinto Day Festival this Saturday. The event is from 10:00 to 6:00 with the battle recreation scheduled for 3:00 PM. I went last year for the first time and there are certainly plenty of photo ops.
Of course I think it will also be "Earth Day." During the "International Lights Out Event" a couple of weeks ago, I took advantage of the extra power available, from my nieghbors voluntary blackout, to really light my place up! I'm thinking that, in honor of "Earth Day", I may stay home and burn a stack of old tires I've been collecting - kind of a redneck fireworks display! Of course I'll be wearing a life jacket - in case the polar ice caps melt. Good times.
I like the perspective you have taken. It is interesting artistically, but more importantly, it ties two historical icons of Texas together in one shot. And everyone knows that is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteAnother unique perspective of the Battleship Texas!
ReplyDeleteI think a crop removing the black triangle from the left and some of the sky would improve it. The "bones" of the shot would still be there!
Cheers!

Once again, a great photo of our historic San Jacinto....and makes me want to revisit!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry, Barry, and Shirley.
ReplyDeleteBarry - I thought about the weight of the dark triangle you referenced, but in the end decided it helped with POV. Maybe a bit too much of a good thing!
