LOCALE: Texas State Capitol - 04-26-2006, 12:55 PM


The Capitol is located at Congress and 11th Street, but anyone in town can trell you how to get there. The building is open to the public almost every day. There are lots of good photo opportunities both inside and outside, including the rotunda, Senate and House chambers, facade, fountains, statues and more.

Be prepared to have your camera gear and bags inspected by security when entering the building.

1100 Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78701
(512) 463-0063

I always seem to end up at the Capitol when I get a new lens/ camera to test out.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some shots on my lunch hour - my new office is in the Capitol complex on 15th and San Jacinto. I think I can get over there through the tunnels.

My boys and I were there yesterday. The eldest had fun with his new camera and we both took lots of pictures. Here are a few I took while there:

More night shots of the Capital. The interiors were done freehand and about 5 minutes to closing.

Awesome pictures. I used took picture of Capitol when I was in deaf school there. I wish I can do more. In fact, I still have pic of that place when I was in high school, it is but I know it is not looking good. Hope yall'll enjoy.

Crap, I am not how you upload it.
