A friend told me about the nice shots he took in Galveston. I decided to go for sunset photos. Sunset photos are always a bit of a gamble, especially when the location is 1,5 hour drive from home. The weather forecast indicated that there would be a bit of cloud cover, so I drove to Galveston. The location was better than I could wish for, a rock solid pier (no blurry photos) and a band (The Tomz Katz Band) was playing at Joe's Crab Shack at Pier 19. I would almost forget that the photos came out quite nice.
The shipyard is ‘Gulf Copper Dry Dock & Offshore Rig Repair’. During Ike, the water level in Galveston was about 6-9 feet. It took quite a while to rebuild the economy. Luckily the damage to the shipyard was minor and was able to reopen a week after Ike made landfall.
