More New Braunfels Stuff

I know blogging is obsolete, but I really hate Facebook. I want as much control over my content as I can get. I don't want ads unless I put them there. 







This is New Braunfels, in little bits and pieces.





Something else I have no use for is Twitter.






Enjoy the pictures. My pictures are something like teachings, I think, if you can get your head in the right place. I don't charge a dime to present you with my picture/teachings. Some would expect you to buy them a Cadillac and a $50 suit. Nope. Not me. It's all free, all of the time. 






Yep, I like to think that with my pictures I show you things and teach you things you could never see for yourself, no matter how much you got all twisted around and squinched up your eyes and made them all googly and weird.

Mystery Pics, HMS Incredulous, New Braunfels

Yes, it's that time again. Time to post some more pics here. First, those mystery pics, which were a kind of camera experiment.


 The HMS Incredulous, made from wood scraps. I did not go to much trouble on this. It is not a scale model of anything. But when I set it adrift, I'll complete work on a more scale-like model of the HMS Rodney.





Whoops! How did that New Braunfels stuff get mixed up in here? Oh, well...







 New Braunfels, in detail:

These pics are just not going up in the right order. But what the heck. I'll just keep going.




That worked better.




Fossils! Millions and millions of years ago, this area was a shallow sea, and an area of intense volcanic activity. Massive outcroppings of granite in the hill country near New Braunfels were once lava domes. You find lots of limestone and granite in this area, testifying to enormous changes over the course of geological time.




When I complete New Braunfels, we will look at the tiny town of New Home, not far from Lubbock.
