Re-enactor plays squeeze box after the San Jacinto Battle Re-eanactment is over near Channelview Texas.
A full side view of the very well put together Spirit of the Union Pacific, as it works up hill with a long intermodal train near the Cabazon Crossovers as the sun dips lower and lower on the horizon in the Colorado Desert. This was one of the more impromptu photos I've this was only really achievable with a slow Westbound like this one and a very empty frontage road along Interstate-10.
Full details of the different paint sections: Front is symbolic of Air Force Silver, and the blue stripe is a reflection of the former Strategic Air Command’s “nose sash.” The lettering inside the sash is the original hand-drawn font used on the B-17. It is followed by the Coast Guard’s “Racing Stripe” and the Navy’s Battleship Gray, which frames Union Pacific’s traditional American flag. The military camouflage is a nod to the Army and Marines. The final message on the tail is dedicated to U.S. prisoners of war and those missing in action, featuring the POW/MIA symbol and its motto, You Are Not Forgotten. (which is kind of hard too see).
This is the Battleship Texas. They keep her in beautiful shape and you have all the freedom to explore nearly the entire ship on your own. You can even play with the various deck guns and go all the way down to the engine room. She is located on the Houston ship channel in San Jacinto.
Another old shot from 2011. This was taken 30 minutes before this shot. I like the natural colors in this shot. BTW, I still don't have a camera yet but I'm working on it ;)

The dark eye stripe does not change, but the body color and dark markings can quickly change from dark to light, and the body color itself can also change, typically from brown to green or vice versa or a combination of both, in response to environmental conditions.
A study of Hyla (Pseuacris) regilla in Washington concluded that "H. regilla has control over and can change its hue, chroma, and lightness during time periods on the order of minutes." ..."...we support the idea that physiological color change has evolved as a mechanism to allow rapid background matching as a tree frog moves from one location to another."

This is the Battleship Texas in San Jacinto right across from the San Jacinto monument. She served in both World Wars.
