I saw these ruby red cars racing across the Delaware river on this very narrow bridge (I had to do some really quick clicking). This is pretty much the same spot where general George Washington and others struggled across the icy waters in boats over 230 years ago to fight the British in Trenton. Imagine what Washington would think if he saw these strange red machines coming from the direction of his red clad enemy.
This is an eye catching building in Fort Worth Texas. It looks like the angel has frightened some birds with her horn (Click picture to see). I will post pictures of it in color in the future. 
Inside and outside of Le Musée d'Orsay in Paris. A museum in an old train station. It's one of my favorites.
Most of the buildings in downtown Grapevine look like they were built in the old west era of the 19th century. I walked between some buildings and saw what I think are pretty interesting windows. They kind of remind me of abstract paintings.

I like the contrast of old and new in the Waxahachie Texas. Here is an example an old feed store that's probably pretty much the same as a hundred years ago but if you look closely at the bottom photo you'll see the modern kids doing skateboard tricks.
This is a little different than my normal posts. Sometimes when I'm out taking pictures I spot objects like these and take the photo because I just like the pattern or the way it looks.
This bank in Denton Texas was built in 1913. The only thing I know about the sculpture in front is that it reminds me of a tornado.
The name of this fountain statue is "Walking to Texas" and it's dedicated to the pioneer families who walked their wagons to Texas in search of a better life and ended up in Grapevine in 1844 or something like that.
Things sure have changed from the days of the old west. He may have a big "Canon" but hers is fully automatic, and it looks like he's already been hit.
Please click the pictures to enlarge them. 
I found both of these old items in the basements of old buildings in Mckinney Texas. The sign was in the county courthouse. This was the first time I saw a boiler or a sign like that.
As I mentioned before we were in Brussel during a really bad storm so it was cold, wet and very windy. That made it really hard to get pictures sometimes rain drops even hit the lens. Even with all that, the details on the buildings are amazing. Here are a few samples.
This guy seems to be enjoying the water and the warm California sun in Corona Del Mar. My wife Vicki went to CDM high school. I wonder if they had sailing classes? I bet they had a surf team even my Fountain Valley high school did.
Clinging to a torn down old building that has been turned into a parking lot this tree is determined to live against all odds.
This is one of the great old buildings in Baltimore Maryland. 
If our little orange friend looked up this is what he would see. The 16th century Roman Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres. I bet there isn't a mouse or pigeon problem here.
Chartres is an enchanting town about 60 miles from Paris. Vicki and I agree that it was the coldest place we have ever been. The cold didn't seem to bother this orange cat that lives in or near the cathedral. 
One thing I like about this blog is the freedom to go from place to place and time to time.
This thin building is in Rouen France. I wonder what it looks like inside. I doubt a king sized bed would fit. Also Napoleon looking down at me.
When I lived in California it seemed that all McDonald's looked pretty much the same. In the last few years I've seen some pretty interesting buildings house McDonalds, Starbucks, Home Depot etc. This is a Mcdonalds in Baltimore Maryland.
