Austin Pride 2013

I recently saw that this entry never posted. So I've decided to post it now.

Austin had its pride event last week and on Saturday they had a parade.

I decided to use this as an opportunity to get some pictures.

 I’m still working on my skills of nighttime photography.

 Moving objects would be a bigger challenge.

The above are a few images from that Saturday night.


Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind and do come back again.

More images from the Kite Festival and Austin at night

One cold night after work  walked over to the bridge and took this shot of the moon.

 That same night, capturing the skyline from S. Larmar and Riverside on the pedestrian bridge.

Kites everywhere filling the sky, brought to life by natures wind.

I like to call this one, connect the kites. Remember as a kid when you used to look up at the clouds and see things that were or weren't there? Kites can add that same magic as they battle to stay in the sky and not get tangled by another kite, or end up in a tree.

Here's one either in the tree or trying to hide out. You decide.

This one shows the city skyline as the kites soar.

There were probably 5 times as many people as there were kites. It's great to see people enjoying themselves in natures beauty.

The butterfly kite. There were many interesting kites, but some didn't stay up long. Some got tangled with another kite or they crashed and burned. Austin has a lot of opportunities for this artist and I am going to take advantage of as many as I possibly can.

Thanks for stopping by and do come back again. There will be more of my Stories behind the photographs and new shoots around Austin and wherever my travels take me.
