This Week In Austin [Pictures]

June 1, 2008

What happened this week around Austin? Let’s let photos speak a thousand words (and I’ll add 1,001-1,050)!

Creepy Vendetta Guy

Someone dressed up as the creepy guy from “V is Vendetta” held protest signs on the capitol grounds and I don’t get it. But we give him a gold star for wearing full V garb in this hot weather!

The End of Concordia

Concordia University has moved their campuses north of Austin to the old Schlumberger site on 620 and the old campus is now being demolished as seen in this week’s image.

Wind Surfing on Lake Travis

This week has been breezy and hot, perfect for wind surfing on Lake Travis. This photo was taken at Bob Wentz Park (aka the “public side” of Windy Point).

windsurfing is fun. no punchline here.

Waiting for Bats

Austin is famous for the largest bat colony in America (perhaps the world?) that comes out to feed every night from under Congress bridge, filling the sky with a cloud of zippy black bird-looking bats. Sitting below in the Austin American-Statesman lawn or up above the bridge on the sidewalk, it’s a lot of fun to take the kiddos to see the mass exodus for nightly feedings.

buying a home in austin is like waiting for bats to come out- EXCITING! :)

Doggie

This dog played in the park. That’s news-worthy, right? No? Well, here’s a ridiculously cute dog playing in Austin anyhow.
