Texas Cities and Towns

Texas has a wealth of diversity that is evident in its cities and towns. From the sophisticated, culture of its megalopolises to the small towns that dot the state, each community brings an understanding of history and pride that defines the state.

However, no matter how large or small, most have at least one museum, a rodeo arena nearby, and a gathering place to tell stories, and keep up with current events.

Texas Outdoors, Parks and Wildlife

Texas has it all: mountains, prairies, sea coast, forests. The world beats a path to Texas’ cities and urban landscapes but it’s in wild Texas, found in an abundance of state and national parks, where true Texas adventure begins.

Texans value their treasures. They’ve established a multitude of parks to preserve important historical, sociological, and geological treasures. Texans love the outdoors, too. Hundreds of parks offer hiking, fishing, camping and swimming. Some even have such things as equestrian facilities or mountain climbing.

Houston New Home Communities

As Houston continues its extraordinary growth, it is quickly outgrowing its borders, as it does many people are moving to the new home communities that are springing up just outside the city limits, in places like The Woodlands and Conroe to the north, Pearland and Clear Lake to the south, Sugarland and Richmond to the west, Humble and Baytown to the east.

These towns not only provide access to Houston's large employers but they also provide many of the necessities for comfortable living such as, affordable homes, shopping, recreation and jobs.

George Hosek Photography

If you're looking for images of Texas you've come to the right place, I've been photographing Texas since 1992, I've done freelance and assignment work for regional and national publications, including Texas Highways and Texas Parks & Wildlife. Lately, I've been doing covers for Houston Newcomer Guides.

I try and create unique, creative, artistic images, by using the experience and technical skills that I've developed over the years.

The last couple of years I've been shooting video as well, in December of 2006 I started shooting HD Video, using a Canon XH-A1. You can see a few clips on the Texas Video page.

Texas Videos

This page features videos of Texas, so far these short video clips are just test clips, I'm still figuring out the best way to format and display videos on the web. Hopefully, in the near future I will have some full length videos of Texas to showcase.

I recently shot the Houston Art Car Parade, Hermann Park, and San Jacinto Day ( Battle of San Jacinto ) its only a matter time before these will be available for viewing.

So please bear with me as I continue working on this aspect of the site.

To the right see our newest video, Nacogdoches Azalea Trail
