View From Mount Bonnell On A Foggy Morning

Photographed yesterday morning.

I went up to Mount Bonnell yesterday morning, with the idea that I'd sketch/photograph some Valentine's Day couples.

But the morning was cool and foggy.   There were no other folks up there.

Mount Bonnell View, December 25, 2010

The view this afternoon, from half-way-down Mount Bonnell.

I used my husband's i-phone.

I've been told that Mount Bonnell is the highest point in Austin, although apparently this is incorrect.

Mount Bonnell has a colorful history.  And is a very short and easy climb.  So, it is a very popular tourist spot, also a romantic one.  It has many areas for sitting and enjoying the view, at least on a somewhat warmer, less windy day.
