This evening was the Republic of Texas Biker Rally in downtown Austin, including a motorcycle parade, some live music in the middle of Congress Avenue (featuring Asleep at the Wheel), and extra shenanigans on Sixth Street. It is always fun every year to go down and watch the bikers take over Austin. Everybody stay safe out there on the roads!
It is the springtime version of the Pecan Street Festival! Booths, food, drinks, people, pets, art, live music and more! What an awesome day in Downtown Austin!
A few scenes from the hills of East Austin looking towards downtown on a sunny Sunday morning.
On the way back from my walk, I took a few photos of the Frost Bank Tower. It was an overcast day with a high of 52 degrees in Downtown Austin.
After my visit to the Mexic-Arte Museum, I struck out on a long walk. I went South on Congress, crossed the Ann Richards Bridge, got onto the Hike and Bike Trail, it turned into the Boardwalk, crossed over Town Lake at the I-35 bridge, followed the trail under I-35, walked up Rainey Street, by the Convention Center, over to Sixth Street, and back to Congress. Of course, I took a few photos of the scenes along the way on this cold and cloudy day in Austin (the sky cleared a little as the day went on). Overall, a nice walk!
I went to downtown Austin for lunch today, and went for a short walk at Town Lake to stretch my legs a bit. You know, just the usual stuff – lake, tall buildings, construction cranes, bridges, Stevie Ray Vaughan Sculpture, squirrel, Frost Bank Tower…
Here are some scenes from Republic Square Park at sunset during the Circuit of the Americas Fan Fest.
This is probably one of the most photographed buildings in Austin. I went downtown to watch the football game and couldn’t resist taking some photos of the Frost Bank Tower . By the way, I am really liking the zoom capabilities of my new camera.
