Downtown Austin Part II

Downtown Austin is one of my favorite places to go when I have a few hours to kill.  There is always something to see or do and most definitely places to shop and eat.  And, if you're lucky, sometimes you can spot something that people overlook.


Could this be the work of the mysterious Stikman?  It's said that the artist travels all over the country and puts his mark (or in his case, his sticker) on everything from traffic signs to building walls.  His work is most commonly seen in crosswalks like this one on Congress Avenue.


In an alleyway, a window takes center stage in a Studebaker sign.


Across the alley, someone left their Stella Artois beer bottle on a windowsill.


Stairway to Heaven?  My guess is no.


"'til death do us part" Street Art off Congress Ave.


View looking up in front of the Frost Building.


Close up of the top of the Frost Building.  Is it an owl?  Is it a bat?  You decide.

Close up of the bat sign going under Congress Ave Bridge.  Bats migrate under the bridge every year to the delight of locals and visitors alike.


Just a reminder under the bridge:  Never Handle Grounded Bats!
