Texas and the 50mm: Downtown Austin + the Capitol

After I went to Houston for a weekend, I took the bus up to Austin for a few days.

The bus ride went right through the corridor of Texas that’s been having all the wildfires. Just a wee bit scary…

I was staying with my friends Alex and Emre, who are both at UT and in classes most of the day, which meant I had a whole lot of time to just wander around downtown Austin. Since I’d never actually been to Austin before, this worked out perfectly.

That said, I don’t think Sixth Street by day is quite the same as Sixth Street by night:

I also went to the Capitol building. Twice. The first day, I just walked over to see what all the fuss was about. The second day, I decided to go inside to check things out, and walked in right as a tour was starting. Hooray!

Almost backed into the street trying to make the whole building fit into the scope of a 50mm.
