High-Rise Lines High-rise office buildings are a unique breed. Though they may vary is style and size, they all have a few common traits. They all have lines. Thick lines and skinny lines, lines that go up and lines that go down. Lines that go left and lines that go right. Lines in front and lines reflecting. (...sounds like a Dr. Seuss book). Go ahead and try counting the lines next time you're downtown. You better take a lunch though, you're going to be there a while. This is a late evening shot of one of the Chevron buildings in downtown Houston.
Rainbow on the Beach Walking along Pensacola Beach, I saw this lonely beach umbrella waiting for someone to come visit. Fortunately, the wind wasn't heavy or it might have taken a trip of its own down the shore.
Gun Over Mobile Going east on I-10 across Mobile Bay, you pass right by the Battleship USS Alabama. Stop. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Exit now and enter Battleship Memorial Park. This is a great place for the entire family. It's full of history with lots to see, both on and off the ship. There is a hanger with WWII airplanes and the USS Drum submarine. On the grounds you will also see tanks, vehicles, anti-aircraft guns and more. This gun (or cannon) points back to the city of Mobile.
