Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

January 31, 2016 · by John W. Howell · in Fifty-two Views of the Gulf · 35 Comments

I finally got my bearings on where the path used to be. The weather is lovely. In the mid 7o’s during the day and high 50’s at night. The walk over is behind me but creeping forward toward the water. I think by next week it will be making its way into the picture.

Have to admit that these pictures take on a different sense after watching Jaws and Jaws 2. 🙂

  It is massive. The construction photos I have taken are not too good. Maybe next week.

  Nice picture. I have seen this view many times. I ride my bike on the beach and when the wind is out of the North I head toward PA. The newer trash cans lead me to think this was taken within the last two years.

    Hi John,
    Actually, this picture was taken exactly one week ago. We were surprised to see trash cans and porta potties quite a ways farther out to the south than we were used to. Looks like the city of Port A extended their city limits. I didn’t bring a bike with wide tires but my road bike. So I went out on Hwy 361 to the Mayan Princess resort and then back. Nice ride, but somewhat boring. I still enjoyed it, though.
    Have a great Sunday,
    Pit

    You as well Pit. The PA line is at pole 60 and they decided to provide the trash and port a potties since there is a new ordinance against camping on the beach where there are no potties.

    Thanks, John, for mentioning me. Much appreciated. And to add some more shameless self-promotion 😉 there are two more pictures from Port A in that blog:

    These [“Pit’s Fritztown News” and “Pit’s Bilderbuch”] are my two active blogs. I still have a few older ones which I haven’t closed yet, but do not continue.
    “Pit’s Fritztown News” is used more for longer posts, whereas “Pit’s Bilderbuch” is (now) used more just to publish (single) pictures.
    Have a great week,
    Pit
