Day 34. February 3.

Day Thirty Four. February 3. "Untitled". This stone maiden with her enigmatic stare greets visitors to Richard Garriott de Cayeux's , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Garriott Castleton Village and Curtain Theater on the shores of Lake Austin. The arch in the top left of the picture is the Capital of Texas Highway (360) bridge. Richard commissioned both Castleton Village and the Curtain Theater to be built on his Lake Austin property and he generously allows different groups and events to use the property. The Curtain Theater is the home for Austin's theater troupe "The Baron's Men" http://thebaronsmen.org/ and the "Austin Shakespeare Festival" http://www.austinchronicle.com/arts/2007-04-06/463050/. The village hosts "Society for Creative Anachronism" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Creative_Anachronism and has the largest jousting tournament in the North America, "Lysts at the Lake" http://texasjoust.com/. Some of the pictures in the Texas Joust's website slide show are my pictures that I took at last years event. Canon Rebel XTI on tripod. Canon 75-300mm lens. Focal length 110mm. f/4.5. ISO 400. Exposure 1/800 second.
