Silhouette, against the Texas State Capitol, of the monument to the men of the 8th Texas Cavalry serving in the Civil War. Benjamin Terry and Thomas Lubbock's call for volunteers resulted in ten companies of 100 men each.

This was taken during a night walk of Austin, Texas. The capitol is lit very dramatically but alas I had no tripod. This is a handheld shot. I really liked the silhouette of the statue commemorating the 8th Texas Cavalry against the building.
High ISO allowed for the quick shutter - and not much noise. Still one of my favorite night building shots.
