Rowing on Town Lake

Rowing on Town Lake in Austin, Tx at dusk.

Not many words today. I'm (barely) awake early enough for the sunrise, but sadly, I'm not able to take any photos of it. Instead, I'm about to have a meeting with some folks in Bangalore, India. My life would be easier if the whole planet was in the same time zone! Who's idea was it to make the planet round?

Anyway, point your browser over to Watery Wednesday for other watery photos.

Sunset Red Granite

This is my first entry in the Thursday Challenge. This weeks theme is "BUILDING" (House, Hut, Tent, Skyscraper, Green House,...).

In Texas, they brag that The State of Texas capitol building is largest state capital building in the US - everything is bigger in Texas!

This Italian Renaissance Revival building was opened to the public April 21st, 1888. The building is constructed with "Sunset Red" granite quarried from Marble Falls, TX.

State of Texas Capital

During a recent trip business trip, I took the opportunity to visit the State of Texas Capital Building. I used to live in Austin, but never went inside of the capital building. It is very impressive. This photo is of the dome.
