Layout Ideas

Over time I’ve drawn more layout ideas than I’ve ever put into a CAD program of any type. Sometimes the mood simply takes me, other times the wish to apply the K.I.S.S. principle takes hold. The following pages provide a lot of detail and photos of the areas listed. Each has its own history, style and focus. Each can be a layout on its own, or part of a larger layout if you have the money, time and space.

The Texas sites I visited, often measured and photographed while I lived there from 1997 – 2006. Other sites have become easier to research thanks to Google Maps and Bing Maps as the years have gone by.
