The Trail Less Travelled (1)

The hike and bike trail around Lady Bird Lake is very popular, especially between the Ann W. Richards Bridge on Congress Avenue and the MoPac bridge. That’s about a five-mile loop. But the trail is approximately 10-miles long, with the other distance spanning east from Congress Avenue to Pleasant Valley Road and the Longhorn Dam. This section is a lot less busy and it’s a very nice trail. That’s the route my hiking group took the last time we were there.

This is underneath the IH35 bridge. Maybe this is his favorite fishing spot. Shh! Don’t tell anyone.

Vantage Point

Assignment: Pick a vantage point (with a one-step radius), stay there for at least an hour, and photograph. Find or make interesting views out of ordinary or usually-ignored items.

I took close to 100 photographs and decided 6 were good enough to keep (with one being the photograph of my tripod to show my vantage point).
