R. Craig Collins' Portfolio: Austin

Regular trip sites, plus a conference at Lakewood (bottom of the page)

	Austin: The river walk near the bridge, one place people gather to watch the bats... I know a more open place up the hill
	Austin: Twilight, and the bats begin to fly out over the city
	Austin: A view of the bridge from the river (called Town Lake here, just south of Lake Austin and Chuy's Hula Hut, which is south of Lake Travis, home of the Oasis)
	Austin: There are many horse drawn carriages about in the evening hours, when it is cool, and traffic is light
	Austin: By law, new buildings MUST 1) have a unique skyline and 2) not block the view of the Capitol
	Austin: The Governor's Mansion... one of many many neat old houses
	Austin: The Land Grant building, now used for the Capitol Vistor's Center
	Austin: The Capitol... larger than the US capitol, of course
	Austin: The Capitol... it glows at night. The UT tower is in the background.
	Austin: 6th street by day
	Austin: Sixth steet by day This is where Esther's Follies is, among a lot of music clubs and restaurants
	Austin: Sixth street at night They block off the street, so it doesn't always get this crowded anymore... lots of good people watching, though
	Austin: a peek at some of the skyline, as viewed from one of the 'island' bridges on the hiking trail part of the riverwalk
	Austin: The night skyline
	Austin: more of the hiking trail
	Austin: Barton Springs In Zilcher Park
	Austin: Homewood Suite with fireplaces, my favorite place to stay
