I was looking for the perfect spot to capture this magnificent sunset. I think this random field worked out quite well. 🙂

Before Sunset

More lovely views from McDonald Observatory as the sun begins to head behind the nearby peaks.

Campbell’s Hole – Swimming Spots

Nov20

Campbell’s Hole has some pretty swimming spots and some nice sunny rocks to lay back on and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waterfalls. I’ll be back for a swim when Austin gets warmer.

Supermoon?

Nov14

When you head over to the local church after work with hopes of catching the rise of the Supermoon, but you realize that you and your camera are better suited for sunset photos. No problems, the moonrise was still pretty.

Alamo Sunset

Chillin’ at the Alamo. Watching the skies change as the sun sets behind me. Taking photos.

Mala Luna – The Evening

Oct30

The crowd was so energized when the sun went down and things at the Festival got much cooler. It wasn’t the most beautiful sunset, but it was a welcomed one.

Wild Texas Short Films

Oct21

Last night, I arrived at Stanley’s Farmhouse in Austin at sunset. My mission was to enjoy a few short films being screened by Ben Masters. The sun lit up the clouds in bright orange just over the trees of the farm. I found the pavilion and pizza restaurant where the screening was taking place, and took a few photos before enjoying the films. The most publicized film was called Pronghorn Revival, and was about relocating Pronghorns to ranches near Marfa Texas. My favorite film of the night was called A Backcountry Recovery, and was a story about how horses and a 1,000 mile long horse trip brought meaning into the life of Ray Knell, a Green Beret and Afghanistan war veteran. His goal was to use animals, nature, and physical activity to inspire other veterans to find help with the affects of PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These films made for a great evening at a small piece of a working Texas ranch.

Come Walk with Me

Oct18

It is a relatively cool evening as the sun begins to set in Bartlett Texas. The town is mostly vacant, except for a few cars and trucks. Most of the shops have been boarded up with the exception of a couple of restaurants and antique stores. People have purchased or leased some of the downtown buildings to serve as their homes. The brick paved streets speak of another time. The town’s history indicates wealth from the cotton and railroad industries. Come and see some of the sights as I walk through this unique and interesting town.
