CEDAR BAYOU TRESTLE BAYTOWN

This shot is looking down a set of abandoned railroad tracks leading to a trestle over Cedar Bayou in Baytown, TX.  On the left of the shot is an old maintenance and operations building that was used to support trestle operations back in the day.  I think it's been close to a decade now since a train last crossed here and the trestle is slated for demolition to make room for an additional bridge crossing as part of the Hwy 99 Grand Parkway project that will circle Houston.

This shot of the Fred Hartman Bridge was one of my entries in the Bay Area Photo Club of Clear Lake's Honors Night assignment "After Dark".  The image was well reviewed by the judges and was given a Gold award.

Baytown Eagles

I stopped by the sight of the Baytown Eagle pair on the way home from work just in time to catch them returning to their nest. They stopped in a pine tree between the fence line and their nest long enough to get a few shots off before the light failed.

Sunset at the Hartman Bridge

I shot this sunset from Evergreen road yesterday evening. I used on camera flash to pop the sunflowers in the foreground and added a little texture to the scene.
