Downtown is mostly obscured when driving southbound on Lamar. You get a glimpse of it as your approach Koenig, near the DPS headquarters. The best view occurs about 4 miles to the south between 24th and 15th streets (near Peace Park). Rounding a curve south of 24th street, the skyline suddenly appears, with 360 taking center stage from that vantage point. Here's a sample of that view:
Even superior to this view are those from northbound Lamar, between Ben White and W6th Streets. The skyline takes some interesting forms as you twist, turn and descend into the river valley, culminating with the view from the Town/Ladybird Lake bridge.
