This first one needs to be seen large to read the script: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/may+we+pause.jpg.html This second one should also be seen larger to see the detail that the artist put into this statement piece: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/rainbow+maze.jpg.html Now we move to a restaurant row near a large well used park 2km from my home. This is on the back side of a restaurant: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Purple+rose+in+TX.jpg.html On the back of a dog day care center: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Valentines+super+dog.jpg.html Every city has patron "saints". One of Austin's is Stevie Ray Vaughn: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/SRV+with+turquoise.jpg.html This last image for today is a bit of local humor. In the center of Texas are four large cities that compromise maybe 60% of the population, Houston, DFW, San Antonio, and Austin forming a rough triangle. Houston was always considered the blue collar city with the oil industry, Dallas was the banking, finance, and transport hub, San Antonio was a military town and Austin is the state capital and home of a very large public university that probably has the largest endowment of any university in the world(land grant school whose land is a large chunk of the Permian Basin). So, just an old display of city competition: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Live+in+Dallas.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
