Blue Hour on the Drag, University of Texas - Austin, Texas

Blue Hour on the Drag, University of Texas - Austin, Texas Here is another Blue Hour scene from the University of Texas photowalk, this past weekend. You can see the Varsity Neon, that I posted yesterday. This is a wider angle of 24th and Guadalupe Streets on "The Drag", a shopping area on the western edge of campus. The Varsity building used to be a Tower Records store, back not too long ago, when selling records and CDs were profitable. The cloud texture during blue hour was particularly interesting that night. Want to see more photowalk images from UT? See my blog entry A Monochrome Tour of The University of Texas.
