The Texas City Dike

I am having car problems. The check engine light keeps coming on. This is the third trip to the shop and I hope it proves the old adage that the third time is a charm. Anyway, I needed a diversion. Alcy wanted to go to Galveston and asked me what time we should get there. I suggested for sunrise--once it is out of the bag you can't put it back in. Getting up at four, at four always sounds like a very, very, very bad suggestion. Anyway, we decided to catch sunrise at the Texas City Dike rather than on the beach at Galveston. The Photographer's Ephemris indicated that from the Dike, the sunrise would be directly out Bolivar Roads. We were at the Dike at 6 am, well before the sun. Actually, the sun never did show up because when we arrived you could barely see fifty yards for the fog. We spent the next three hours running from one side of the Dike to the other. There seemed to be a photograph regardless of which direction you looked. By then, getting up at four didn't sound like such a bad idea idea at all. We spent the rest of the day on Bolivar and shot a little along the seawall in Galveston before heading to Tookies in Seabrook for a No. 99. We ended the day with a camera club meeting, a lecture on shooting black and white. Long, long day but very satisfying. I haven't uploaded the photos from the Nikon yet, enjoying the shots from the Olympus too much.
