Traditions and The UT Longhorns

Austin Texas is a great place to be especially when its time for kickoff. At thanksgiving The University of Texas has a match up with Texas A&M, some might call it a football game. When your from Austin its more of a yearly showdown. More than a game, its a 119 year tradition that has been a very important part of both schools. This year is the last of the great show-downs.

The University of Texas has a tradition of lighting the tower when any of the sporting team wins. After the victory over the Aggies of A&M they lit the tower. It is must see, and experience.

It was great to be home to watch the showdown, it was awesome to drive into town to get a picture of the tower after this game. But is was extremely powerful to share it with my family. Even our daughter screamed during the game.

The same scenario applies to real estate. And, one of the quickest and easiest ways to promote a home's features is through photography. Good photography, that is.

Have you ever seen a jeweler use a lump of coal to sell you a diamond?
