Whoa! Bravo, dude. Cool, thanks. Where did you go in downtown for those views? Parking garages? Which ones? One looks like it was from a building. The last time I ventured onto a parking garage in San Antonio for pictures I was run off by a security guard.

Very cool, thanks for the pics!

Wow, those are some really good shots. I do agree, this has to be one of the best collection of pics i have seen to date. I noticed that you see the crane at Vistana, as you head down commerece street. That is awesome, so i have to wander then how the building will look in the distance as you head into downtown on commerce, pretty kewl...

True it captures the city from some good angles which makes it look good.

Great shots! And man you're right about the 'gap' filled by the Hyatt. It really helps to balance out the skyline, as far as density, from the northern/Trinity view. Thanks for the updates!

Most of the DT pix were taken from the skydeck of the Wyndham, a few were from the pool area of the hyatt. The skyline shots are from Trinity and lockwood park.

Cool, so you're able to go to the Hyatt roof huh? I'll have to check that out sometime. I had figured it was off limits to anyone not staying there.

This one's my favorite. Reminds me of the NBA Street video games but instead of New York or the beach in the background it's SA! Great view of the Marriott Rivercenter btw. Grand Hyatt's gonna look good from this area too.

That's what I thought too lol.

It's amazing how spread out the skyline is. It reminds me a little of Atlanta.

Schertz1, these pics are so good, you should post them in the My City photos forum for all the SA naysayers.
