Walking Around The Bayou


Recommended Posts

Well it looks like Otto Mation has taken over the Photographing Houston page so I guess I'll post these here. Toured the St. Arnold's brewery today and went to sober up walking around the bayou afterward. Covered roughly from Jensen to McKee. I don't think it will ever look like the Seine or the Thames (as the Chronicle once compared the eastern stretch to) but there is potential. Just needs time and money.

Sweet.

 

I don't envy wondering around Houston in the mid afternoon in jeans.

 

I'm sure that it looks like some parts of the thames, or siene.

 

Ha, yeah that was my old man, pushing 70. Pretty in shape, though it was his idea that we not walk all the way down to Lockwood. :)
