Skyspace

As per the website, “The Skyspace is a naked-eye observatory in the heart of the main campus, where visitors view the sky through an opening in the ceiling called an oculus.”  It can be found on the third floor rooftop garden of the Student Activity Center on the University of Texas campus.  On rainy days, you get nice images of gray, black, and white.

Cooper’s in the Rain

IMG_3296

My destination was Cooper’s Bar-B-Que, but along the way, I stopped to admire the sights in Downtown Austin.  The Contemporary has an interesting rooftop display of Art.  There was construction going on.  And I made it to Cooper’s just before the heavy rains came down.

Texas Book Festival – Rainbow

IMG_2258

Let this be a lesson to me – don’t be grumpy when you find yourself about a mile away from your car, with the umbrella in the trunk, and you are walking back in the rain.  You never know when a magnificent rainbow will pop up out of nowhere to put an exclamation point on your awesome day in Austin.  ðŸ™‚
