Old French Church SEPTEMBER 18, 2012 LEAVE A COMMENT (EDIT) Driving through the countryside of any strange place is exciting, since everything is seen through a new and fresh view. You strive to take everything in, but the signs, buildings and other interests flash by as your car, train or tour bus zooms past. Traveling through France, each small town would have an old church and though many were similar in design, they were each unique. This old church had the cemetery alongside, behind the old stone walls. It seems like most of France was made of stone, which is probably why much of it has lasted for centuries. I’m sorry to say that I don’t recall the town or church name. The signs just kept zooming by too fast.
Contemplation This is a sunset over McGovern Lake in Herman Park, in Houston, Texas. We stopped by here after an hour or two at the Houston Zoo.
My fondness of airplanes is no secret. Like a woman window-shops for shoes she can't afford, I shop over airplanes I'll likely never fly in, let alone ever own. But it's nice to dream and enjoy these beauties through short visits and lasting photos. This beautifully restored North American T-6 Texan (with the Navy designation SNJ-5) was at the recent Wings and Wheels at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum with it's 600 horse power Pratt and Whitney R-1340 "Wasp" Radial engine. Some lucky person won a charity raffle for a ride in this historic World War II era aircraft. I knew I should have bought more tickets.
