The Cathedral of San Fernando is a beautiful church in Downtown San Antonio. I couldn’t help but to stop and take some photos as I walked by on my nighttime stroll through the city.

Market Square
Unity Plaza Tower
I stumbled upon this unique piece of public art tonight as I was walking towards Market Square in Downtown San Antonio. In fact, get ready for a few posts of my late night stroll through the city. I hope you like all of the photos.
Just Another Texas Sunset
I went walking at Lake Georgetown and caught this beautiful scene!
Emma Long Metropolitan Park
After work today, I walked along the shoreline of Emma Long Metropolitan Park and then beat the heat by going for a sunset swim. The summertime people were out in full force.
Brushy Creek Trail East
I walked for about an hour this evening on Brushy Creek Trail East. I travelled the section beginning from Forest Ridge Boulevard and heading west along Brushy Creek. This section is a paved trail, covered by shady trees, and good for walking your dog or riding your bike. On the way back, I popped out into the new subdivision that is beginning to take shape – with lots of new construction going on. Here are some photos from the trail and the creek, and as the sun began to set on a nice evening in Round Rock.
North San Gabriel Dam
Sunsets like these are fairly common at the North San Gabriel Dam that forms Lake Georgetown. You can approach the walk across the dam from either side – either start from the Cedar Breaks Park area or from the Lake Overlook Park side of the dam. The walk is mostly on an old two lane road that is now closed to traffic. You will have a nice vantage point of the lake, the San Gabriel river below the dam, and the city of Georgetown off into the distance. There are also plenty of photo opportunities here with birds, flowers, deer, and other cool stuff. If you have the chance to visit, I hope you enjoy the walk and the sights. 🙂
Mueller Airport Control Tower
The Mueller Airport Control Tower is a lovely piece of history in Austin. It is one structure that is still standing from the old Robert Mueller Airport days. Since then, Austin has grown, and the Airport was moved further outside of the central part of Austin. Lucky for us, it makes for some nice photos and a walk through the neighborhood will bring you up close to a few flowers for some smells and photographs.
Bull Creek District Park
The recent rains in Austin have transformed Bull Creek District Park into a giant water park for the family. People were having a great time this evening with swimming, sliding down the waterfalls, playing on the rope swing, picnicking, and wading through the shallow parts. There were million dollar homes in the hills, wildflowers on the trails, and family pets wondering how they ended up in the middle of a flooded creek. Forget paying those expensive water park fees for a while and get yourself over to Bull Creek for a swim. 🙂
Neighborhood Walk
What can you do when your car is in the shop for alignment, among other things? You can beg your friend for a ride home from work. You can go for a swim and then bring your camera along for a neighborhood walk. You might see an awesome sunset, a bunny, a Versa-Vibe, the half moon, and other cool stuff. See, who needs a car anyways? Uh, can someone give me a ride to work in the morning? 🙂
