NWHPC Outing

 Went on an outing with the Northwest Houston Photo Club to St Marys Catholic Church in Plantersville Texas.  This is one of the lesser known Painted Churchs of Texas. 

Christmas Lights

 This years attempt at Christmas lights withing a few miles of my home.  

my wife loves Christmas lights so for a treat I take her out. I call it a cheap date, LOL. 

There seems to be a lot more lights this year.  I was only out a couple times but here is my contribution.

Stroll 19th Street

 I had the opportunity to stroll down 19th Street in the Old Houston Heights neighborhood with the Houston Photowalkers.  Was there a couple years back and it was interesting to see the some changes.  I imagine that this was once a booming local shopping district before people started moving farther away.  Now, there are some abandoned buildings and a mix of old eclectic shops.  It is fun to do some street photography and as always shoot with fellow photographers.

Here are some of the images I took -

Although not on 19th Street this was seen on the way home from the shoot on N Sheppard Dr one block north of 19th.
