There is a perch I have been thinking about using to take sunset photos or long exposure light trails over Austin. It was a relatively clear evening and I wasn’t expecting much of a sunset show, but I thought that it might be a good night to get headlight and taillight trails along Interstate 35… Read More Austin Light Trails

These are some photos from last Spring that I kind of forgot about for a while, but I like them and wanted to put them on a blog here. As I would drive over the tracks up the rail from the metro train station on some evenings, I would see the red lights reflected down… Read More Leander Train Station
