There is some spooky hard rain in Austin today. For now, I am keeping dry at Maggie Maes and watching some football on Sixth Street. They also have some of their Halloween decorations up to enjoy.

Sweetwater Wind Farm
I drove through West Texas today in route to a whole ‘nother state. The wind farms along the highways are most impressive. I pulled off onto a dirt road near Sweetwater, Texas. It rained a little bit while I took some photos and stood in awe watching these huge machines. The songs they sing as their blades spin are both eerie and enchanting.
Storming
This oak tree outside the movie theater is pretty cool. It is a little bit more impressive in the midst of a full blown rain storm.
Santorini Cafe
It continues to rain in Austin. I had a quick, dry lunch inside Santorini Cafe in Austin today – lamb gyro and iced tea. This is a pleasant spot on North Lamar Blvd. and I need to return on a sunny day and make use of their cool patio.
Lake Austin
Curtain Theater
On Richard Garriott’s lakeside property in Austin, there is a replica of the Globe Theater called the Curtain Theater. A performance of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was scheduled for tonight, but then the rains came. The show was cancelled at the last minute, and then the rains went away. Oh well, what can you do?
Bee Cave Sculpture Park
I visited the Hill Country Galleria Mall this evening in between rain showers, and it turned out that the concert in the Amphitheater was cancelled due to the weather. So instead of a rock concert, I caught the scene at the Bee Cave Sculpture Park . It was a wet evening, which made for some interesting photos and then a nice sunset.
Mozart’s Deck
When I left Mozart’s tonight, it was pouring down rain. I took a picture of the deck and then had some fun with the Pixlr App. I will provide you with both the edited version and the original version so you can see which one you like best.
Mount Bonnell
It continued raining in Austin today, so I thought I would see what the view looked like from the top of Mount Bonnell in the rain.
The University of Texas Tower IV
There was a light rain tonight, which provided a good opportunity for some photos. I was near campus again, so I decided to take a walk for a little exercise. Here you have all four corners of the University of Texas Tower as I did a 360 degree walk around it.
