The sky always looks bigger in Texas. I spend a lot of time just looking up when I am there.

Nice photos, did you see any bats in Austin? Those things are amazing when they swarm out at dusk.

ya i went to that bridge to see them, and not only were they not out in full force, it was dark, so all i really saw were silhouettes. and even with that, they stayed low so i didnt see their outlines in front of the sky.

but ya, marco, the sky there was great! the storm was awesome, i cant remember the last time i saw rain over power a car's windshield wipers.
