What do you really love? Ask that to Italian design brand Vanoalto and you'll immediately know their weakness: craftsmanship and contemporary art, 2 worlds that manage to converge only thanks to imperceptible magic, between improvisation and mania. Like in their latest series of furniture and objects with sculptural lines: "The things I love".

It’s been bitter cold here in Texas and I’m getting tired of wearing sweaters every day. So here’s an image taken last fall at one of the best spots in the state to capture a sunset, looking west over Packsaddle Mountain. I’m going to keep posting these “warm” images until the weather breaks or I run out of shots, whichever comes first.
Sunset – Kingsland, Texas

Shot taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II set on aperture priority (Av) using an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens tripod-mounted. The exposure was taken at 45mm, f/13 for 2 seconds at ISO 100 using a Singh-Ray 3-stop (soft) graduated neutral density filter. All post capture processing was done in Adobe’s Lightroom 3 Beta.

Inks Lake was created in the 1920′s as a means of flood control along the Lower Colorado River. It’s the second of six such lakes that make up the "Highland Lakes Chain" here in central Texas, created by the Buchanan dam to the north and Inks dam to the south. It was built by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) during the Great Depression and provided employment for 1,500 workers during its construction. The state acquired the land in the 1940′s as part of a public works project sponsored by Lyndon B. Johnson when he was just a US Congressman.
The geology of the area is truly unique with pink, granite-like outcrops called “Valley Spring Gneiss” pushing their way up through the surrounding limestone. These outcrops support a unique ecology of wildflowers, grasses, mosses and even ferns. Inks Lake State Park is a place that you could explore and photograph for years and never run out of interesting sights to see. In the springtime when the wildflowers bloom, the area comes alive with color and that’s why Inks Lake is always one of the stops on the Texas Landscape Safari.
