Trucks and bridges

This is traveling on US 59 business near Victoria and looking at a truck traveling on US 59 South bound. I like bridges.   And trucks.   And both in the same picture!

Light in the Sky

This shot was taken near Austin on State Highway 130 recently. Light coming through clouds like this always gets my attention.

This highway is the new toll road/bypass around Austin. Speed limit on it is now posted at 80, with plans to update that to 85 in the near future. Sure makes our run to Dallas/Ft. Worth easier as we can bypass everything Austin.

Corpus Christi Bay/Ocean Drive

A view of Ocean Drive and the bay near down town Corpus Christi recently.

Ocean Drive Mansions

One of my favorite streets to drive is Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi. Here are some of the buildings you will see there on a recent drive along that route. Corpus Christi Bay is just to the left.

Oilfield Traffic

There is a lot of oilfield traffic in South Texas these days.  Here is a tanker on one of the roads close to Goliad, Texas with an interesting cloud formation overhead.

Wide Load

Wide Load

Wide load I passed on Westheimer Road coming into Houston. Sign on the truck said they haul cable and rigging for oil fields.

90 at 99, Sugar Land Texas

Approaching the intersection of US 90 traveling south on Texas 99

The bridge you see is the railroad bridge. The intersection itself is sort of down in that hollow.  A month or two ago this intersection was closed after heavy rains in the area flooded the whole thing. I was coming north on 99 that day and had to turn around and go back and come across on Hwy 6.
