Fall Colors at Austin 360 Bridge - We wanted some fall colors that we get this time of year with the red oaks, maples, and bald cypress growing near the waters edge at the Pennybacker Bridge. Today we got a pop of color as the sun cross over the tree tops with a contrasts of the ash juniper evergreen with the yellows, reds ,oranges of the maples, red oaks, and bald cypress autumn colors. Most refer to this bridge as the Austin 360 or Pennybacker bridge or pennybacker overlook or some verison of this along with the Capital of Texas hwy.This arch style bridge connects the north and south area of Austin across Lake Austin. This bridge is locate in Austin Texas on the loop 360 hwy on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The 360 bridge crosses Lake Austin and it is a recreational lake that many use in the area for swimming, boating,and fishing. Downtown Austin is about 30 minute drive on a good day. The bridge was name after Percy V. Pennybacker Jr. Bridge who was a civil engineer for the highway dept..In the distant view you can see Austin skyline but its a good distance away so very small view.
