Still shooting in dismal skies: Crockett, California, part 2
Yes, the sun is out! It’s Christmas Day and Gem (our dog) and I totally enjoyed our sunny, but windy, walk. But, as far as this blog is concerned, we are still in the overcast, foggy skies of Crockett.
I need to go back and thoroughly investigate this charming town. It’s not a tourist area, or maybe we didn’t stumble upon any boutique shops, etc. What we saw was real–architecture and people. Today I’m going to show you what buildings and shoreline we stumbled upon. This is going to be a three part Crockett show piece. When I do go back, I hope to catch the Carquinez Bridge at night.
Here are more images of Crockett.
This burned out building was directly across from the fire station!
I just liked the look of this old building. It’s a good thing the driveway was there–the cars couldn’t park directly in front.
This is the Odd Fellows Hall.
These weathered steps made for a nice image.
I have never seen a mail box sticking through a fence like this.
This old Victorian was a stand out.
We came upon this small park and fishing pier. You can see that the fog is still there.
A view of the shore from the pier.
Another shoreline view.
Yes, I stood in the middle of the tracks on an active line to get this shot.
Here comes one of the passenger trains.
Now a freight train zooms by.
A view of the bridge and refinery. You can see rusted equipment in the water.
