There is one major requirement for a lovely sunset – sun! After about 360 days of cold, cloudy, overcast, rainy weather in the Austin area (it seemed like that long, but I lost count), the sun finally returned to warm us up. We all thought we had moved to Seattle. Hooray sun!!! Please come back tomorrow. 🙂
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…
After way too much yummy food in Vegas, I decided a long walk at night would be good for me. I headed South on Las Vegas Boulevard to see what I could find. This reflection of Excalibur was my favorite scene of the night.
The Trail Of Lights is about a mile and a half walk through some pretty awesome light displays. There are lots of food trailers and a stage for local talent to perform. Pack up your family, friends, and neighbors and enjoy the evening.
Take a gander at the Christmas Tree in the Domain. Yep, it looks like a tree.
I caught these lovely views this evening. 🙂
