Stevie Ray Vaughan, shores of Lady Bird Lake, Austin Texas This was taken while night shooting in Austin a month or so back. The City of Austin erected this statue in 1994 to memorialize one of our favorite sons. We were experimenting with light painting and I really like the way the statue turned out.

Outstanding work!
Beautiful picture.
Kat, what a gorgeous picture. It really is nice the way you see the beautiful lights in the background. Very well done. Hugs, Marty
That is a really cool picture. At first I was wondering where the reflection was until I saw the light. :) I wish I saw this statue when I was in Austin.
Kathy, Mr. Magpie and I have family and close friends (including a godson) in Austin. It's such a pretty city. Loved seeing this, and that's a cool memorial!
Happy Pink Saturday...
XO,

Beautiful statue and beautiful shot, Kathy!...Christine
Huge SRV fan. the photo is really interesting. Most of the background is blurred but the tower on the right is clear as is Stevie. Is he really that color?
I like the way the bright lights behind is given emphasis, thereby enhancing the whole picture. A great reflection shot.
Beautiful lake and your picture is outstanding!I also liked that red sculpture like a great detail!
Happy weekend reflection

Excellent!
It turned out great, I like the color.
Cool shot. I love playing with the light too.
Interesting colours. Nice shot.
Reflective red - really rare!
I can imagine it's a very good example for a "study of lights."
Very nice.
Nice one Kathy! Happy weekend.
Great photo and a nice reflection.
Oh this is great..Stevie was the best! I posted his parody of "Cold Shot" on another blog..was too funny (to me)..but I lost a couple of bloggers over it- ha! Have a wonderful weekend-
Hi Kathy...
Ohhh...I love Stevie Ray Vaughan!!! Honestly..I had never heard of him until I met my husband...he has several of Stevie Ray's albums! I sure didn't know that he had a statue in honor of him in Austin...how interesting!
Thank you so much for coming by and taking a peek at my new stackable pedistal plates! I really enjoyed your sweet note!
Warmest wishes,

Neon lights do make warm reflections to whatever it touch. Fantastic shot!
Neat shot. The red light makes it special.
Very nice night shot with that red statue and the city behind.
Beautiful shot!
I love the reflected light and the subtle reflections beyond the branches on the right.
I'm thinking a little night shooting practice is something I should do. :)
Thanks for your visit!
mm-mm mmm. Love me some Stevie Ray.
Gone WAY too soon.
That's a very creative shot, I love how you played with the light, it makes this extra special!
Neat shot. I like the way the statue is in front of that sky scraper in the background.
Great colours - also on the water.
Hi, thanks for the visit! Neat photo! I have a cousin who lives with his family in Austin, but I know it's a big city, so you probably don't know him. Have a great day!
Kathy, thanks for visiting my weekend Reflections! What a great shot at night. I need to learn how to do that! Nice job! :)
This is awesome Kathy. I hope this finds you having a super w/k. Thank you for always coming by and saying hello.. I've entered you in the basket give away.. good luck..
hugs ~lynne~
This is just wonderful to see!
Beautiful shot, terrific colors.
Hi Kat! How interesting that you all have a statue of Stevie Ray! I like the effect of the light, too! I've been a bad bloggy buddy and could think of nothing but my roof problems, so I had missed the previous post. How cool that there are ruins!!! I love the sun shining through...kind of a Stonehenge-ish effect! Hope you are feeling much better!...hugs...Debbie
Wow, that's so neat!! Stevie Ray Vaughan looks great in red :-)
Thanks for your feedback on our mini blog makeover. Lightning fast is good!! And yes, Katie designed our header and blog layout :-)

Hi Kathy, what a great shot! I have been wanting to visit Austin for a while now. Heard really great things about it.
Have a great day,
Bonnie
Art is about the light isn't it?
Great pic.

What a gorgeous photo Kathy! Austin is so pretty. My entire Moms side of the family is from Texas. I have a cousin that lives in Austin. He's a sports editor for the Austin Times for many years.
Thanks for your great encouragment on my healthy eating and life changes. It's been tough but I'm still plugging along. I'm grateful for the results I'm getting. I do feel so much better these days.
~Happy Halloween! ~Melissa :)
