Most of my travel photos focus on destinations, sites. and landmarks. I have a few things that I am visually attracted to that keep surfacing. Chickens, they are universal across the country as symbols for restaurants, businesses, and maybe they are just cute, I don’t know. I also like churches, crosses, and religious symbols, trees, doors, windows, and building facades. This post is a random collection of these things and a few destinations, sites, and landmarks I’ve seen in Texas.
Old buildings are always interesting, The stories they could tell!

I took a day trip from my campground south to Terlingua, Texas and Big Bend National Park. Round trip was 255 miles in one day! I’ll post all of the Big Bend photos later after I finish seeing the rest of the park.

I came to Texas in hopes of going to some of the “Dark Sky” locations. I met a guy in the RV park who had bought a lot to build his retirement home but first things first, he built an observatory! A group of fellow RVers were invited out to view the stars with his 24″ telescope that stood about seven feet tall. No photos as it was dark but I was motivated to get my camera out to take a photo back at the park, nothing exciting to put in the foreground but I’ll be trying to find a good subject for future shots!
The Milky Way.I saw this from miles away and finally got close enough to see it was a tethered weather balloon.
