The Tree Over the Pennybacker Bridge

Climbing the path up to the ridge overlooking the Pennybacker Bridge in Austin is a test of patience and firm footing. But once you reach the top, the view makes it all worthwhile. Along the top growing up through the rocks is a tree that leans over the edge. While it makes a great overlook, it is nothing you want to climb. As the sun sets, the lights below and in the distance begin to glow. The quiet stillness of the evening air makes for a great moment to reflect on the day and appreciate the beauty of the many colors below. Easy does it on the path way back down to the highway.

Mission Concepcion Panorama

Mission Concepcion, in San Antonio, Texas, looks pretty much as it did in the mid-1700s. It is still in use for worship today, which makes it all that more special. Though it may not be as large or elaborate as newer churches, the feeling of holiness still prevails in this traditional setting. http://gallery.timstanleyphotography.com/featured/mission-concepcion-pano-tim-stanley.html
