So the Pecan Street Festival is happening this weekend on Sixth Street. As you can tell from the pictures, it was an overcast and cool day with a few sprinkles scattered in for fun. Booths, bands, food, drink, people and their pets made for an interesting day.
A rose and a Passion flower for your enjoyment.
This was the scene on my evening walk in Georgetown tonight.
I took my camera for a late night swim. The weather in Texas is starting to get a little cooler, making for a nice lap swim in the community pool.
I went downtown after work today to attend an event. The event was totally boring, but I did take some pictures of the train .
I went for a long walk around Town Lake at sunset this evening and decided to take my camera along with me. This resulted in a bunch of photos of Seaholm under construction. It will be interesting to see the final product. Yes, Austin is growing like crazy.
My favorite part about The Contemporary Austin today was that they had the roof of the building open for visiting. Of course, I had to take a few photos of the downtown buildings.
The artist, Do Ho Suh , has created several pieces, but the standout item is his “series of rooms and passageways from Suh’s 348 West 22nd Street apartment complex and studio where he lived in New York City”. This is made of polyester fabric, stainless steel tubes and stainless steel wire. Pretty cool.
My second museum to visit for free on Austin Museum Day is The Contemporary Austin . This art gallery is located at 7th and Congress, so you just have to run out into the street and snap a photo of the Capitol Building .
The interior of the LBJ Library is also pretty cool. There are several exhibits from LBJ’s Presidency, including a mock up of the Oval Office. And now, they have an exhibit covering the 60’s with a jukebox full of songs you can play.
