Took a walk to the Capitol today and snapped a few pictures. Storms hit the area hard on Wednesday night - high winds and deadly lightening, etc. Once when I was working in radio in Brownwood, our weather guy and myself had an argument about the term "deadly lightening." I am of the opition that any lightening is "deadly lightening" - he is not. He's wrong, of course.
At any rate, sorry for that digression. Lots of stately old trees bit the dust in the storm - I've included some photos of the grounds. On my walk, I stopped at the Texas Historical Commission, which is housed in an old church - I've included some photos of that as well. This is a beautiful building, and I've included photos of the alter, a stained glass photo of Jesus with children, and a shot from the alter up and into the balcony. Someone has an office up there, and they read and file historical books, etc. It must be a pretty nice gig - you read, you chronicle historical items, and at lunch, you read a sports page on line by the sunlight that shines over Jesus' stained-glass shoulder...not bad.
Also, I took some shots from the Clements building, but those aren't as cool as these, and I didn't have enough space to add them here. Some 30-something windows were blown out in this storm, resulting in water and carpet damage, etc. Mother Nature don't play.
