Description
Here is Galvaton sea wall. In the background is the sea wall. You will see a street light on top of the wall. There a road there on top.
The sea wall was built because of a storm in 1900 destory the town; killed 6000 people too. And in 1902 they form a commintion[board] to get the sea wall build and in 1904 it was finish. Wow that fast. Here in Louisiana it would take a lot longer and cost 3x what they wish for.; plus it would not withstand a storm of 100 mph. Texas did it right.
You see in the foreground a rock with barigos on it[I know misspelled lol Louisiana is last in eduction too]
thanks for looking and comments

Great capture !! I love all of the barnicles on the wall :) An excellent lesson in what we need to do to protect each other !!~BRAVO~!!
Great shot!! Where I live Jock, In Robin hood's bay, we have the highest sea wall in England. Rock was shipped in from Norway.. To form rock armour defences againt the raging sea!! We need to protect to survive in coastal areas. Great work here.. Hugs and na night. Di.
barnicles is on the rock not the wall. the wall is about 30 feet away in back
Very interesting. Today there are too many committees, usless laws formed and then all of the other red tape. Never would anyone act so fast. PROOF? Louisiana??? !!! Hugs!!!

Barnacle Bill the Sailor.....remember that song? Barnacles are a variety of cirriped crustaceans that cement themselves to anything and everything, including whales. Cool capture with good depth, Jocko!
I loved Galveston when we used to go there! I hope you get to go visit the houses on the strand! They are so beautiful! Thanks for the memory! (:
well if Texas did it right or not, can be debated.Texas is full of bs politicians as any state, but we got more than our share. the barnacles are cool.
