^ So what happened to JMan's Ranger?
Great pics. I love those zoomed in shots of the city. And man, check out those hills. Cool stuff. Hopfully I'll be there in March. I the weather holds up for me. When I was there last year at that time it was cold and rainy. Glad to see they finally washed the skylights at the Tower of the Americas. I'm looking forward to checking it out. |
Nice pics.
|
Nice updated pics. Hope you had a great time in SA...
:yes: |
Anyone have a good rendering of the Hyatt? All I've seen to this point is more of a drawing.

Thanks guys... had a great time in SA.
Jman... Funny how close our paths crossed! You're right, the cloud deck didnt clear until perhaps 15-20 minutes before we arrived at the tower. As for my impressions of the revamped Tower.. Overall its a big improvement. Clean, new and cool again. I am not a huge fan of the large glass panels on the outdoor observation deck (too much glare, and some distortion), but if you're tall enough, you can peek your camera over the top of the glass. Could be worse... the CN Tower in Toronto has this thick, 'mesh' chain-link fence that even the smallest of camera lenses cant peek through. |
You've got a nice zoom on that camera lol... and I've never noticed the turquoise squares on the marriott rivercenter before
|
those are some fantastic shots of dt, but i am most impressed by how your camera's zoom caught the hills in the background behind the airport. i actually live north on 281 past that quarry that is north of 1604 in that photo. wow, that is crazy; i sorta felt like san antonio was more like austin in those north side photos, specifically speaking about topography. anyways, thanks buddy so much, that was a great spread.
|
I really liked seeing all the mid-rises outside of downtown. I'd guess there's probably between 50 to 60 of them outside of downtown, maybe a few more. Not bad. That's about as many as Austin and Fort Worth have outside of their downtown's combined.

http://images18.fotki.com/v376/photo...1210083-vi.jpg Thanks again for the comments guys. The zoom (a compact 10x) really does capture the elevations of the surrounding hills... particularly beyond the Stone Oak area of far-north SA. Here are a few more pics that I forgot to post: Lower San Pedro ave: http://images18.fotki.com/v376/photo...1210110-vi.jpg View from the "601" lounge (601ft above the streets of SA) http://images14.fotki.com/v378/photo...1210114-vi.jpg http://images14.fotki.com/v378/photo...1210150-vi.jpg http://images20.fotki.com/v374/photo...1210124-vi.jpg Trinity University: http://images14.fotki.com/v377/photo...1210130-vi.jpg A few more Super Zoom-Crops: NW San Antonio/Crossroads (you can spot the La Cantera Westin resort in the distance): http://images14.fotki.com/v371/photo...210109a-vi.jpg San Pedro @ Loop 410 http://images14.fotki.com/v378/photo...1210118-vi.jpg http://images20.fotki.com/v367/photo...210065a-vi.jpg The more industrial areas NE of downtown, along I-35. Splashtown waterpark is also visible here: http://images14.fotki.com/v377/photo...1210082-vi.jpg |
I was in that dome watching the eyes of texas breaking some bird's wings!
Nice shots btw! |
Why was it closed and for how long? I was up in that not too many years ago...Maybe 3 or 4? Nice pics! I will be in Texas on the 20th, save some good weather for me please.
|
:previous: It was being renovated for I dont know how long. I do know that Landry's restruants now owns it.
|
Laundry's is leasing the restaurant for the next 10 years.
|
I counted atleast 5 more highrises outside of downtown in those additional shots.

Is this the building you're talking about? This is the Towers on Park Lane. It's 368 feet tall with 23 floors. As far as I know this is the tallest building outside of downtown. http://www.thetowerslife.com/ |
