New Braunfels 2019 Set 13

Still doing the good stuff. Doing the best I can while shivering in the dark and wet junkyard.


I guess the atmosphere was pretty good for stuff like this.



Oh, yeah. It was also kind of muddy. 


But I really wanted to get photos of this stuff! Lots more to go!

New Braunfels 2019 Set 12

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!

New Braunfels 2019 Set 11

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!

New Braunfels 2019 Set 10

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.

New Braunfels 2019 Set 9

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.
