Exxon-no-more

Here’s another view of the hurricane-damaged gas station from yesterday’s post.

At this point, almost two years later, it’s hard to imagine this place will ever be repaired.

The hurricane took what it wanted

On August 26, 2017, about 25 miles from right here, Hurricane Harvey made landfall. It was a Category 4 storm, and is tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone on record.

And here we are, closing in on two years after the storm, and damage is still visible across a wide swath of South Texas.

Hours grow shorter

The setting sun, lighting the front of the old church, with the afternoon’s storm cloud moving ever further away.

Family portrait

I’m not intending to be sacrilegious, but it is a family portrait.

Font + candles

When I use my phone to make a photo and I get a result like this, I sort of wonder why I even bother with the other “real” camera…
