Annual Lighting of the Square

IMG_6579

The City of Georgetown as well as the cold, blowing rain came out for the Annual Lighting of the Square.  There were Christmas Carols to be sung, the Mayor to be greeted, and Santa Claus to tell your Christmas wishes.  I took a few photos out in the crazy cold front from the North, and then hurried over to the Monument Market to warm up with some turkey and squash chili and hot green tea with honey.

Model Train Show

IMG_6540

It is time for the Holiday Model Train Show at ArtSpace in Downtown Round Rock.  It is a series of dioramas surrounded by train tracks.  For a $5.00 donation, you can control one of the many trains circling the exhibits.  For some reason, this entertains me for long periods of time.  Check it out if you find yourself in Round Rock for the Holidays.

Periscope Skip Ahead

IMG_6535

I am still enjoying Periscope.  Lately they have improved the Map View to include options to see live video or recorded video.  For recorded video, there is a new option to Skip Ahead.  Just press and hold on your touchscreen, and you can fast forward to the spot you want to see in the recorded video.  It is chilly in Austin, and I am missing the beach, so I virtually travelled to Australia tonight to catch a sunrise.  I hope you enjoy the possibilities for travel on Periscope too.
