Just Another Day in Austin. Sharing the Crosswalks with Horses. Riders Waiting for the Lights to Change. Same as anywhere else. See this in Paris all the Time....

Austin is still a little...different. Today I walked down South Congress Ave. I ran into my friend Paul, and his wife at a café. The drink special at Chapulin was tequila and watermelon. A motorcycle "club" called, The Banditos was having a BBQ in the parking lot of Hudson's Meats. The street in front was layered with endless Harleys. I left before the classic car parade but was in the area long enough to see tons of nicely restored (and badly restored) classic and antique cars. In Texas, legally, if your car is over 50 years old it's considered a protected antique.

I was walking north on the east side of the street when I came to a cross walk and waited for the signal to change so I could cross. And across the street three people on horseback were waiting to cross the same street; coming in my direction. I thought I might take a few photographs because I am so keenly interested in horses.

No fancy camera work. Just a normal lens on an old, digital rangefinder camera. But I thought I should share what an average day on the streets of Austin looks like right now.

making a call while waiting for the next light change. Very casual.

  A few people actually looked up from their phones...
