Austin IV

An what a neat little tower.

These Gardens have so many European inspired features one would not expect to find in Texas.

Two buddies hanging out having a good time. ;)

Mount Bonnell, also known as Covert Park, is a prominent point alongside Lake Austin. It has been a popular tourist destination since the 1850s. The mount provides a vista for viewing the city of Austin, Lake Austin, and the surrounding hills.



Looks like Fehmarn-Sund-Bruecke doesn't it?
A view over Austins wealthy Hill country.

See the awesome properties at the side of the river.

So tricky to get to this spot though. Had to take the bus to the hood and then walk Laguna Gloria, Mayfield Park and Mt. Bonnell by foot in texan heat.

Did a city tour the day before which show's the main attractions in 90 min. Which means if you want to have a closer look at anything you have to get there yourself.

Bird eye on a property underneath the look out.

Look at that having a villa on one lot and a garden on the next. Since - hey who likes direct neighbours. One gotta have some breathing space...

Austins Skyline. Apparently you are not allowed to build any high rises close to the Capitol to not harm it's magnitude as most important building of the state.

I'm a poor lonesome cowboy

I'm a long long way from home

And this poor lonesome cowboy

Has got a long long way to roam

Over mountains over prairies

From dawn till day is done

My horse and me keep riding

Into the setting sun
