Texas Travel

Texas

I went to Texas and stayed in Austin which is the state's capital, and also went around to some nearby places as well. Below is the
capital building in downtown Austin. On the right is the tower clock from a university that was made infamous from the tragic event of
when a former US Marine sniped several people in the 60s.

Texas - Austin Bats Leaving The Congress St Bridge

Most think Texas as desert and a very dry state. As you can see below, it even has waterfalls and some swampy areas.

Another interesting fact about Austin is
that one of its bridges is home to the
largest urban bat colony in North
America. They say that under the
Congress Avenue bridge live over
750,000 bats. Each day at dusk they all
fly out at once, eating anywhere from
10,000 to 30,000 pounds of insects in a
single night. Here you can see them
flying across the Colorado river, almost
appearing as smoke in the sky.
