What a magnificent place in Texas! Don’t you think? This picturesque place is called Gruene, located in Texas, and was first established as a cotton-producing town in the 1800s. The quaint town of Gruene is a historic district of New Braunfels, which offers a mixture of diverse entertaining opportunities, such as live music events, unique shopping opportunities, amazing food and so much more. And everything within the walls of the original township buildings. Aren’t we tiny creatures among those imposing and magnificent Bald Cypress Trees, growing along the river bank? These are among the oldest living group of trees on earth. Twenty million years ago, their ancestors grew across Europe, Asia and North America, and now create a unique, incredibly beautiful and productive ecosystem. Now, stretching from the Texas Hill Country to the Gulf of Mexico, the Guadalupe River is about 250 miles long. Cutting through tall limestone bluffs and towering cypress trees, it is THE place you want to be, when Texas’ summer hits it’s minimum 40 ℃. This picture was taken with an incredibly amount of fascination and pleasure in November 2019, and proudly final edited in 2022.
