Neat shots. Not sure which I like the best as they are all different.
This is a really neat little place....and it is amazing how dark and quiet it is once full darkness sets in, especially since it is only about 1/2 mile off the highway.
BTW, the official home of the Texas breeding stock reserve / Texas Longhorn Herd is just across the highway at the park campground. They are some BIG fellas and girls.

Thanks Gene, might be my spot for the next meteor shower

Really neat. What kind of exposure (length, ISO and aperture) were you using and how many times did you have to fire the flash (just once or did you have to aim and fire multiple times to cover full buildings?
Very high ISo for the stars, then stayed around 1600 Iso for painting the building in. Used both flash with colored gels and or a sure fire flash light with gels.

Todd used steel wool and lit it on fire.
How did someone come up with the steel wool trick? I have seen about a half dozen photographers posting steel wool shots lately. Is it new or been around forever?

Keith,
Fantastic set of night shots.
They are all nicely composed and well processed. My only suggestion would be keep your camera level as wide angle lenses exaggerate the distortion of straight lines. However, it may not be possible to get similar composition unless you use a tilt and shift lens.
