Fish out of Water

This shrimp boat was dumped in this Willie G's restaurant parking lot in Galveston by Hurricane Ike. The photo was taken last Saturday on the Bay Area Photo Club's field trip down to Galveston.

Galveston Shrimp Boat

This shrimp boat seemed very close to shore when Emma and I were down on the Galveston seawall yesterday morning. Usually these really large shrimp boats stay way offshore but this one only needed 300mm of my Canon 100-400mm zoom!
