Snowy Austin - a photo on Flickriver

Snowy Austin

Those two words are not normally in the same sentence, but they came together yesterday as Austin got hit with an unusual but awesome snowstorm. It was not a big snowstorm that snarls up everything, but it was soft and consistent and actually stuck around for a while. There was still snow today visible in a lot of places. Like many folks, once it really started coming down, I abandoned any hope of productivity and went out with the camera. I got this shot from the outlook over the 360 bridge. I also did a bunch of other shots that I will share in time, like maybe in the summer when we are sweating to 100 degree temps.

I also posted a color version to my website, so if you get a minute, let me know your thoughts on it if you can. It's a "Color Pop" version a la Topaz Adjust, so keep that in mind when you view it.
