Description

Here is Galvaton sea wall. In the background is the sea wall. You will see a street light on top of the wall. There a road there on top. The sea wall was built because of a storm in 1900 destory the town; killed 6000 people too. And in 1902 they form a commintion[board] to get the sea wall build and in 1904 it was finish. Wow that fast. Here in Louisiana it would take a lot longer and cost 3x what they wish for.; plus it would not withstand a storm of 100 mph. Texas did it right. You see in the foreground a rock with barigos on it[I know misspelled lol Louisiana is last in eduction too] thanks for looking and comments

Barnacle Bill the Sailor.....remember that song? Barnacles are a variety of cirriped crustaceans that cement themselves to anything and everything, including whales. Cool capture with good depth, Jocko!

I loved Galveston when we used to go there! I hope you get to go visit the houses on the strand! They are so beautiful! Thanks for the memory! (:

well if Texas did it right or not, can be debated.Texas is full of bs politicians as any state, but we got more than our share. the barnacles are cool.
