HWW!! Austin, Texas
No peaking in the windows..;) I know I've posted this before but this is a new pic..;) I took this one from the parking garage where photographers aren't welcome anymore.
Happy Fence Friday...!!!
Another restaurant I didn't get to try..;) And Bacliff is another town I probably won't go back to, so this place will just have to remain a mystery.
Happy weekend everyone
Here's an image from my last trip to Texas to shoot the Cypress Swamp. The sky was pretty ugly white in this image, so I tried the new Adobe sky replacement. It's like magic and it dramatically improved the image. I have so much to be thankful for and feel very luck. Lots to look forward to including seeing and spending time with friends and sharing our modern style of friendship with those I only know on social media. Happy Thanksgiving.

This is the famed "Round Rock" that the city was named after. I looked it up and it seems that I didn't have the story right.
In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community "Brushy," and the creek was called "Brushy Creek". But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock. After the Civil War, Jesse Chisholm began moving cattle from South Texas through Round Rock on the way to Abilene, Kansas. The route he established, which crossed Brushy Creek at the round rock, became known as the Chisholm Trail.[17] Most of the old buildings, including the old Saint Charles Hotel, have been preserved. This historic area is now called "Old Town.

This old abandoned gas station is situated near the intersection of old US 75 and Interstate 45 on the north side of Madisonville. US 75 was supplanted by I-45 in the early 1960s south of Dallas to Houston. No doubt this old 1950s-1960s station served travelers on both highways.
Soon to be condos. This little truck has been moving around the complex for weeks. No one has the heart to put it in the dumpster. A worker tried to give it to me....
The old Stardust Motel sign outside of Marfa on US 90/Old Spanish Trail Highway. Looking north towards Valentine and Van Horn.
In the early 1950s the San Jacinto Courts (motel) was built on the western edge of Marfa. The owner had a keen interest in Texas history and used the San Jacinto Monument, near LaPorte, Texas and the Houston Ship Channel, as the inspiration for his original sign. Several years later the name of the motel was changed to the Stardust Motel. You can see the original sign by clicking the info link below.
