In a JAM?


Seen off of 45 in North Houston.  You might be in a JAM if this truck didn't do his job:  delivering gasoline to your local stations where you can keep your car humming like the fine vehicle it is.

Sunrise on Interstate 10


I caught this on a recent morning cruising toward Houston on IH10. I like how I caught the round rising sun under the bridge.

Fiesta Market

Fiesta Market
This Fiesta store is in Houston where a number of this Mexican atmosphere stores are located. There are a few elsewhere in the state but without checking I am guessing most of them are in the Houston area. They normally serve a growing Hispanic population in the parts of the city in which they are located.

Houston Skyline

Houston Skyline
I was headed north towards downtown on US 288 when I took this shot while I was following a flatbed loaded with what looked like crane weights. I have hauled such things in the past. I don't know what any of the buildings are called except for Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros (Astros Ball park).
You can just see the curvature of the retractable roof sort of to the right of the photo and right over that exit sign.  Read more about it on that link I provided.

Houston Highways

On the ramp coming from Beltway 8 Northbound onto IH 10 towards downtown Houston. 
The ramps from the Beltway are rather high in Houston's version of the mixmaster at this intersection and you can get quite a view of 10 both east bound and west bound.  But the best picture I got of it yesterday was once I was already down the ramp and by the Gessner Road exit. Along the left edge is the ramp coming from 10 west to 8 north and south. And that must be the Memorial City Hospital straight ahead on the right (the tall buildings.)
