Scenes from the Road II

Sep26

As you can see, it was a pretty cool drive back to Texas. Goodbye for now to New Mexico. It was a great place to visit!

Frost Bank Tower III

I took a photo walk through downtown Austin today. In search of the best shot of the Frost Bank Tower.

Views from the top.

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.

4th of July

Jul4

Happy 4th of July from the Oval Office! Well, at least the replica found in the LBJ Presidential Library.

Jefferson Davis

Jul1

In the shadow of the Texas Tower on the campus of The University of Texas, stands a statue of Jefferson Davis. This statue is in the news lately, as it was vandalized in June and is under consideration for removal from campus. There are several statues at UT, including four of Confederate Leaders. At the very least, it is interesting how these statues were chosen to be placed on campus, and at the very worst, they represent very racist and slave owning individuals from our past. I won’t decide if the statues should stay or not, but leave that decision up to the University. I will leave you with a set of photos from this afternoon of the Jefferson Davis statue (clear of graffiti) and the Tower.

Mueller Airport Control Tower

Jun26

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.

Scenes at Sunset

May9

I was walking near the Capitol Building at sunset this evening and snapped these photos.

The University of Texas Tower IV

Mar8

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.
