Also a good illustration of what a petroleum soaked industrial hellhole Houston is. You would never geuss that the city sits on the same body of water as the beaches of western Florida. Awesome video.

That video was breath taking. I know MY heart rate increased in the spots that there was no light from the shore. That's quite an effect.

Air quality is much improved, though. #13: Yes, that's San Jacinto. Site of the final battle against Santa Ana establishing Texas independence. The Houston ship channel continues as a dredged channel through Galveston Bay for quite some distance before reaching the Gulf. The port of Houston is in the top 2 or 3 in the nation, even though it's far inland. The channel was dug after the devastating 1900 hurricane wiped out Galveston, which had been the big city in the region until then. #6: We like to say that it “smells like money” At least we produce something tangible in this town.

What's the speed limit on that channel? Looks dangerous with no running lights and apparently too dark to see where you are going sometimes. That pilot was very skilled. Wow, what a ride.

Its done by lengthening the exposure, probably even over a second. #4 Almost any camera can produce images like these (minus the timelapse capability).
