Getting into some good stuff here.
Lighting conditions were not the best. Had to use flash for a lot of these.
Where all this stuff comes from is a mystery, and also who buys it, but there is constant turnover. The old stuff goes somewhere, and new stuff comes in from somewhere.
It's a mystery!
Maybe these objects are alien eggs? Cyborg eggs? Much more of this neat-o stuff to come!
Moving right along here, heading back through the cold and light precipitation. A winter's day for sure, or at least, like winter.
This is a typical New Braunfels street in the older part of town.
Still close to Halloween and decorations still out.
New Braunfels in October is a good place to read Ray Bradbury stuff. Of course, you'd have to put down the stupid-phone umbilicus.
This street is very familiar. I walked it many times in my youth, going to and from the library. Same houses. They've all undergone restoration. They look better now than they did when I was a child.
Deer are a major problem in New Braunfels and nobody knows what to do about it. I found these in the driveway one morning and saw actual, literal, herds later, all in residential areas-- lawns and vacant lots. Bucks, does, fawns, in herds of up to a dozen. You have to be really careful driving in this city! It was rutting season as well. People have sustained property damage when bucks have gotten into a battle in their back yards. The city authorities wring their hands and moan. Nobody knows what to do.
Ahhhh! Now we are into the "junk"! More like treasures to me. It was dark and damp and cold as can be when we got to this place. But I took lots of pics, until the cold got to be too much and it just became too dark. Many more of these to come!
Still heading back, still damp, still cold.
And it wasn't long before I passed "The House That Collapsed" years ago. It's planted on a new foundation, but it looks like there must be a massive amount of work to be done, on things like misaligned doors and walls and plumbing and gas lines.
When you consider the jolt this place took, when the foundation gave way, can it ever be the same?
Here is a typical New Braunfels kind of house in an older neighborhood.
STILL out in the cold drizzle and getting kind of chilled.
Also worried about the camera getting wet.
People travel from all over the country, and the WORLD, to see the sights in New Braunfels!
More SIGHTS next time.
Still out in the cold drizzle.
And still in the alley.
Interesting, the way the businesses along this alley have made the alley-- interesting.
When the weather improved the next day, these places were packed.
This is a long, long, way from the New Braunfels I was born in! And grew up in! Ever so many years ago!
