Capitol of the Great State of Texas

Kind of makes me proud to be a Texan.

My first job in LE was as a Capitol Police Officer. I've roamed every square inch of this old building. I'm quite fond of our Capitol.

Nice pics

I have never seen that in person. love the pics.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

I guess I might could like it if it wasnt in austin.

Red,
You're too young to be this grumpy. You need to leave the grouching up to us old guys.

Great pix, LP.

Oh Red, and another thing, I'm guessing you don't like looking at pretty girls either? The pics of the fireman's tower on in my other thread, is located by the hike and bike trails at Town Lake. I ain't ever seen so many hot women, all running around in skin tight, skimpy clothing in all my life. If I was a young man I think I'd be tempted to join 'em.

Yeah, Austin has it's freaks but it's got it's positive sides too.

Sorry guys, I couldn't take pics of the pretty, scantily clad women since my wife was with me. Y'all understand, right?

PS>> Thanks for the compliments gentlemen.

Come on LandPirate man up or learn how to act like you are taking a pic of your wife but zoom right past her and get the hot girl in the background. LOL

Interesting fact- the contruction of that building was traded for 3,000,000 acres of land which became the largest fenced ranch in the world....

dont believe me- look it up!

LP's wife: Oh honey let me see the pic!

BAM! and thats when the fight started

Yep. The XIT Ranch in the panhandle.

Exactly, and that's how LP got the lump on his head and a black eye. LOL.

great pics

I can vouch for LP on the trails at town lake, i have to be careful when driving by so i don't get in an accident. I have the same problem when driving around UT.

Texas pink granite! I stop in and gawk every time we go to a Longhorns baseball game or stay in Austin for any reason. Makes me mad about Treaty Oak to this day.

Thanks LP. you're a Texas hero!

That's enough to melt a Texan's heart. Thanks for sharing LP.

Awesome pics. Dove past it a few times.


The last time I drove by was about 4-5 years ago. I remember they were having some type of protest. Is that pretty common? It was the first and only time I have seen a live protest.

Now don't go gettin' carried away. I wouldn't go that far.

But y'all are welcome for the pics. Like I said, after working there for a couple of years I'm pretty partial to the Capitol. Makes me proud to be a Texan.

Hell Yeah

Great pics. I have been a few times. Always enjoy it.

Great pictures and tribute to the Capital. Thanks LP

Great pictures
