[Leica] Friday Follies

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  We start with the last of the retaining wall murals.
This first one needs to be seen large to read the script:

This second one should also be seen larger to see the detail that the
artist put into this statement piece:

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:

On the back of a dog day care center:

Every city has patron "saints".  One of Austin's is Stevie Ray Vaughn:

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:

All the best.
