Perkins 2014 - Hobby Airport, Lone Star Flight Museum and Port of Galveston

“I like trains. I like their rhythm, and I like the freedom of being suspended between two places, all anxieties of purpose taken care of: for this moment I know where I am going.”
― Anna Funder, Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall

Pictures from our weekend in Galveston ... including some shots of the Lone Star Flight Museum and the Galveston ship channel.
