Today I am returning to Arkansas.  Over the last week, I have been on Texas Wildflower Tour hosted by professional photographers David Cobb and Kevin McNeil.  While the emphasis has been on finding great wildflower scenes, a couple of nights were devoted photographing Dallas and Austin after sunset.  

The first night after I arrived to Dallas, we went to an open spot near the Trinity River just southwest of Downtown Dallas.   Dallas has a recognizable skyline including Reunion Tower, which has the round top that lights up and also the Bank Of America Plaza which is lighted up green at night.  

On the last night in Texas, we made a stop in downtown Austin.  This picture was taken from the south side of the Colorado River about 30 minutes after sunset.   A cloud drifted over at the right time to create the right balance of blue and gray colors over the skyline.
