Tonight's full moon was obscured by clouds leaving me with this.
New Growth Rises in the 2011 Bastrop Fire Area
If you've not already heard, the #HiddenPinesFire, which consumed 4600 acres, is now out thanks to firefighting personnel and the weekend rains. By comparison the 2011 Bastrop area fires consumed 34,068 acres. This was shot just off hwy 71. New growth begins to take root.
Cleaning Barton Springs Pool after a storm.
The great folks at Barton Springs Pool work hard to clean up the pool.
Austin City Limits Festival in Zilker Park. Setup continues. Crowds arrive in less than 48 hours.
This is the 35th annual fall fest.
New Paramount sign arrives on Congress Ave.
Shot last night at an altitude of 350 feet, this is a massive 31-image panorama stitched together. Rather than crop out the white space, I decided to leave it as is. It's kind of a window in the air out onto Austin. Almost as if someone took a squeegee and wiped away the white to find this behind it. This overlooking the Rainey Street Historic District with Town Lake and downtown Austin in the distance.

Jumping into Jacob's Well Spring. The Well is in Cypress Creek near Wimberley.
Shot from 35 feet. Jacob's Well cave descends vertically for about 30 feet, then continues downward at an angle through a series of silted chambers separated by narrow restrictions, finally reaching an average depth of 120 feet.
A little cosmetic construction on the Frost Bank Building.
Austin's unblinking eye gets a facelift.

Colorado Tower and Austonian reflecting twilight
Austonian - Austin's Mood Ring Building It would appear as if the Austonian building was built out of mood ring material. Its color is constantly changing in the evening, depending on how the sun hits it. FYI: Mood rings were a short-lived fad of the mid-1970s. That's the Colorado Tower dominating the frame in this shot.
Over Austin Panorama from 400 feet - September 5, 2015, 7:22pm
With all the change in this town I thought it was time for a new panorama. This one is 1.2x3.6 in size so it would make a great 12 inch by 36 inch or larger print. I went a little further south for this one, capturing the south shore of Lady Bird Lake (aka Town Lake).

Over Bat Fest 2015. Party on Congress Ave. Bridge.
Saturday, August 22 8:08pm from 400 feet. Were you there? Can you find yourself? Ha, hardly an option as the people look smaller than bats from this altitude. Welcome back to Monday. ** Safety Note ** The flying camera was never over Congress Ave, never over Bat Fest and never over crowds. It was over Town Lake (no boats this side) the entire time in the air except for take off and landing. Take off and landing were in a clear open area with no people close by.
