Thanks for the updates, Paul.

Ok, I got a flickr page.
The only thing is I have done photo searches looking to find my images and I don't see them. Any suggestions to get my photos better ranking. I put a skyline shot up there but it's probably on page 2000. Once I get to page 50 I give up.

Best photo update ever, I especially love the after picture of the justice center, it really adds a lot from that vantage point.

Surprisingly, I'm having mixed feelings about the ES from Main St. I love the improved streetscape but I'm gonna miss seeing that line of midrises along St Mary's with the (former) ATT building and all the hotels. There's something kind of Central Park-ish about that view, and its pretty unique in Texas to have midrises at that level of density.

Well I tried, this is a link to see the two photos I tried to upload.
I plan to post tons of photos in the future of construction photos.

If anyone has any advise on posting photos please let me know.

It's the way you save them. When have it on private which doesn't allow someone to post the pictures on the forum.

When "All Sizes" is missing, it means it's on private.

I know to get the .jpg url of the picture you libked to (b&w skyline) but it's a lot of work and if your going to post a lot of pictures, it's best you upload them to the public and not private.

I am happy this is happening, but how can this take 12-14 months? That is pathetic. This is why SA is lackluster in many areas of construction when compared to other cites.

There was a thunderstorm that had just passed, and was heading southeast towards Corpus Christi.

Soon the Milam will barely peek over the top!

Great artwork Boquillas.

Too bad you got sunburned.

Nice updates.
