Rusty machines!                                                                                                   - At No Label Brewery


Robert Frost - The Egg and the Machine -

He gave the solid rail a hateful kick.
From far away there came an answering tick
And then another tick. He knew the code:
His hate had roused an engine up the road.
He wished when he had had the track alone
He had attacked it with a club or stone
And bent some rail wide open like switch
So as to wreck the engine in the ditch.
Too late though, now, he had himself to thank.
Its click was rising to a nearer clank.
Here it came breasting like a horse in skirts.
(He stood well back for fear of scalding squirts.)
Then for a moment all there was was size
Confusion and a roar that drowned the cries
He raised against the gods in the machine.
Then once again the sandbank lay serene.
The traveler's eye picked up a turtle train,
between the dotted feet a streak of tail,
And followed it to where he made out vague
But certain signs of buried turtle's egg;
And probing with one finger not too rough,
He found suspicious sand, and sure enough,
The pocket of a little turtle mine.
If there was one egg in it there were nine,
Torpedo-like, with shell of gritty leather
All packed in sand to wait the trump together.
'You'd better not disturb any more,'
He told the distance, 'I am armed for war.
The next machine that has the power to pass
Will get this plasm in it goggle glass.'

...where moth and rust doth corrupt...

I stopped by the No Label Brewery in Katy, Texas the other day. With the right camera, I could spend all day there. They operate out of an old silo complex that I can't seem to find the history of, at the moment...

Texas Highway 99 Expansion - Highway in the sky

     Here's s couple more of the Texas Highway 99 Expansion in Katy, Texas. I love the look of the over-pass supports by themselves, they remind me of the Japanese Torii.        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torii 

     I tore my shorts while trying to get across the street to the construction. but I didn't care, it was a beautiful day and I was finally going to get some decent pics of the expansion.

Texas Highway 99 Expansion - Twilight turns to darker blue, With lights of amethyst...

This shot here is an original photo, unprocessed. I wasn't happy with the HDR results. I went down to the construction in hopes of catching the sunset but I failed to check the time of sunset. This time of year it gets later and later. So I missed it. On any other day it might still have been bright enough for some decent photos but there was a large storm system in the area and it was unusually dark. It may not look it but I had to turn the ISO up to 400, and this particular photo is the +2 EV pic from it's bracketed set. I still think it's a pretty awesome scene. It had been sprinkling the whole time I was out there and I was soo muddy when I was done. But I had a good time as I always do when taking pictures.
