It's been a good 5 years since I was last active on here. Been off at school in Iowa. It blows my mind how much the skyline has changed in that amount of time. Went kayaking today and snagged a few images (you'll notice kayaks aren't the best of platforms):

I'm interested in seeing what this will look like at night once Colorado Tower is done and lit up at the top.

It would be neat to capture the difference of driving down 1st st (Cesar Chavez) from mopac to 35 now as opposed to what it will look like in 2-3 yrs. Should be quite a transformation and the before and after should be dramatic.

Nice Time lapse video of downtown. I especially like the street lights synchronized to the music.

I was down on the Austin High football practice fields this morning. Really cool view of downtown. Didn't have my camera with me, though.

Love that vantage point. It really frames the skyline well. Still can't believe the change in the last 10 yrs, and the fact that there's more to come, crazy.

Im assuming that the guy in the picture is on his knees although you cannot see at all so it litterally looks like he walks on his kneecaps lol. Or he could be standing in a hole. Either way, it's an interesting optical illusion.

hehe I hadn't quite noticed that, though, something did look odd to me when I first glanced at him. He also looks a good bit higher/taller than the car next to him. It's funny how all the water in the street isn't the most strange thing about this photo. lol
