Galveston Part 3

Here is another shot from last weekends excursion down to Galveston, Texas. This is the dedication to the Galveston Sea Wall with the remains of a souvenir shop destroyed by Hurricane Ike in the background. You've seen the souvenir shop in a couple of my posts before but since I think the image is such a powerful reminder of the damage caused by Hurricane Ike I keep coming back to it!

Title: "Sea Wall Grade"


Camera / Lens: Canon 40D / Lens 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom

    Thanks Shirley!

    I think the post processing is as interesting to most folks as the shot itself!

    Cheers!
