San Antonio
I finally have good wi-fi and post the rest of the Texas Trip. After Houston and Galveston, San Antonio was the next stop. San Antonio's city is th 2nd biggest in the state but its Metro Area is far smaller than Houston or Dallas. The town has an old and historic feel to it. No visit to San Antonio is complete without remembering the Alamo:

More Houston and San Jacinto Monument
Went to downtown Houston against and up to the 60th floor of the J.P. Morgan chase building for a free look for the observation deck.
The view was pretty good. Then went to the San Jacinto Monument (...)
Galveston Island State Park
Today I drove about an hour and a half from Houston to Galveston and visited Galveston Island State Park . The beaches are not nearly as good as the ones in Florida, but there were still some good photos to be taken.

Walking Around in Houston
Walked around downtown Houston today. I couldn't get a picture from an observation deck because the J.P. Morgan building was closed since it was a weekend but downtown houston is full of parks and a Bayou runs right through it. I did some editing and this picture came out ok.

Hot Springs
The Texas road trip has begun!! Just visited Hot Springs, Arkansas and Hot Springs National Park. It was a gloomy day so the scenes weren't the best but I still got some shots like this road to the mountain:

Snow and Ice
The first big chill has hit Madison and the Lakes have frozen over solid. Although I can't go many places during the winter, its still quite beautiful, especially during the sunet.
Christmas Peace sign
My favorite picture taken today(although not the best one by far). Like Give peace a chance.
Babler Memorial Park
Went to Babler State Park in Missouri today. It might have been good during the autumn, but there was really nothing there right now. The only good photo being of the memorial itself. Oh well maybe next time.

Shabbona Lake State Park
One of the first true winter visits this year was to Shabbona Lake State Park . A lot of the park was closed due to hunting season(boo). But some of the scenery was still there to see. The lake was just starting to ice over so it was pretty nice.
And the dam that makes the lake:
