I drove through West Texas today in route to a whole ‘nother state. The wind farms along the highways are most impressive. I pulled off onto a dirt road near Sweetwater, Texas. It rained a little bit while I took some photos and stood in awe watching these huge machines. The songs they sing as their blades spin are both eerie and enchanting.
I headed over to the Bar-K Park for some walking and to check out the sunset. The sunset was wonderful.
I drove out to Lago Vista in search of some good hiking trails, but my first stop at Tessera on Lake Travis didn’t provide what I was hoping for. There were some awesome views to take in, however.
If you eat too much Conans Pizza and linger in the booth a little too long, you just might start taking lamp photos and posting them on the internets. :-O
Westech 360 is the office park located at the bottom of the Steck Valley Greenbelt. It has the art piece called “Angle at 19.5 degrees” along with cool opportunities for photos with reflections of clouds. 🙂
It is starting to cool a bit in Austin (only 95 degrees today), so I decided to go for a short hike. Steck Valley Greenbelt consists of a walk downhill to a small creek bed. You will find some mossy spots, some rocky bits, and areas of the trail out in the sunshine. At the bottom of the trail it spits you out into an office park located along the 360 Highway. From there, it is a short climb back to the trailhead. Just the right length for a quick evening jaunt.
