On Day 3 of Austin, I was able to get away from work enough to do a quick little walk around our area and do some night street photography.

Since we are smack dab in the middle of July, feels like a good time to share some pictures I took of some Christmas decorations on Christmas Eve. Have a look: Still one more collection of Christmas type pictures to share from last year.
