I am going to jump back to a few months ago for this picture – Christmas in The Woodlands. I just wanted to highlight a nice bridge scene to bring attention to a Bridge Photos Contest that’s being put on by the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers). They have invited me to be a judge for the contest. If you’re interested, all the info on the contest is at http://ascebridgephotos.org/.

We have enjoyed living in The Woodlands, Texas. Everywhere you look – lush forests are all you see. By law, the business signs around town are very understated. Even busy streets have the feeling of traveling through endless trees. And in the fall, it becomes even more beautiful.

Ironman Texas begins in Lake Woodlands. Two thousand racers are all bumping into each other and getting kicked in the head. If you click on the image, you’ll see in the big version, they have their numbers written on their arms. Here, Ironman number 109 swims with the crowd.

I went to watch (and photo) the Ironman Texas 2012 event which was in The Woodlands. The Ironman triathlon is a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride followed by a marathon run (26.2 miles) back to back. The top pros do it in about 8 hours.
So, I’m going to post a few pictures from this event.
The competition starts at sunrise. Here, the competitors enter the water while a safety worker watches. Ooh, it’s going to be a long day.

The morning was so quiet, I wanted to tip toe so I didn’t ruin the silence. Not even the ducks disturbed the glassy surface of the Woodlands Waterway. Without a sound, the trees echoed into the distance…

The most beautiful parts of The Woodlands are the forests. Sure, there are lots of nice neighborhoods and restaurants and such. But, give me a peaceful walk in the forest and I’m happy.

Many communities in The Woodlands have little ponds between the houses. Often in the middle, there’s one little fountain glowing.

The Woodlands has a growing business community. Here, everyone is still working and the sun has already set over Lake Woodlands. It’s winter so, by the time the sun is down, it’s going on 7pm. Time to go home, people.

Here’s another view from a few nights ago when I was up at “oh dark thirty”. It was worth it to me, although I think it took me two days to fully recover.

In The Woodlands United Methodist Church, there are several sanctuaries. This tiny room holds about 20 people. As you sit in the candle light, you can hear far off Gregorian chants.
