Finally made plans to go to Mt. Bonnell--the highest point in Austin, TX. I have been planning on going there ever since I came to Austin but never went through with any plans. Last Saturday morning, I finally went and loved it. It was December 1st and 80 degrees. I didn't expect anything less from Texas weather. My mentor group and I went exploring around and down little trails, it was so beautiful. I decided to experiment a little with the manual settings on my camera and photographing the scenery since I have not been behind a camera in awhile.
We also went to a hidden place called Castle Hill. There is graffiti everywhere. Every time you look at the graffiti, you find something you have not seen before. Real life
I Spy. It's on Baylor Street and pretty hard to miss. There is actually a castle at the top of the hill, above the graffiti.
Austin's Nature and Science Center is pictured above. Lovely weather and an even better sight.
Here are a few more pictures from Mt. Bonnell. Enjoy!
