Waking up at Graffiti Park | 33 Sunrises x Day 12

Waking up at Castle Hill Graffiti Park | 33 Sunrises x Day 12
(Don't do this. Don't hold a 6 lb camera in your right hand with a zoom lens while you're going 60 down 35 as the sun is rising. Otherwise you might end up with something like this... )

So I climbed to the tippety top of Austin's Graffiti Park and there before me: a sky on fire above and entropy at it's finest, below.

After deciding holding the DSLR is a bad idea while driving (haha ?) I tried desperately to get to the park before the fire sky vanished. This first shot below was the first in a series of 3 or 4 I shot a few seconds after I got out of the car. Of course the full skyline view wasn't until I climbed the dirt path that lies just to the right of the park. 

I sat perched on the ledge above, feet dangling below, watching the clouds float by. 

At one point I saw someone far below walking and it looked like he was looking at me a few streets down and I thought how odd it must have been to look out on this great big expansive graffiti park and see a girl perched, when barely anyone else was awake. Why shouldn't I wave? So I waved. And he waved back.
