This is from last year, but it's a good one.

^^ Washing the windows of all the towers. Crazy.

A cool angle I haven't seen before. Credit to /u/crownsdown on Reddit, who takes these photos from a small plane.

Hah. I came here to post that. It might be my favorite photo of Austin.

Wow, that's beautiful! And a totally unique perspective on the city. I love it - thanks for posting!

KevinFromTexas · #**2146** Posted **Jul 8, 2019, 4:45 PM**

I don't think I've ever seen that angle pulled back that far and from that altitude. Besides showing how big our core is, I love the view of the river and hills back there.

clubtokyo · #**2147** Posted **Jul 8, 2019, 6:15 PM**

I love that view! It also show just how many trees Austin has!

Here's the larger version of that. I have a new desktop background now.

His photo thread. His aerials really are some of the best I've seen.

Very nice. That's some new desktop material. You also got a photo of my parked truck.

Not often photographed from these areas.

Nice. I've always loved being able to see the hills peek above the horizon line between the buildings.

Downtown Austin on a Hot Day by Gabriel Gutierrez, on Flickr

This might be the best photo of Austin I've ever seen. Look at how dense we look! And this doesn't even include anything west of the W. The city framed in greenery, the Rainey towers in front of everything else, even the apartments in the bottom of frame look great. Man this is a great photo.

It is a great photo but I also think the one above it is just as great. It shows much more of the skyline, still shows the urban forest tree canopy and is just as dense looking. The great thing about that spot is it's just a couple of blocks away from my house.

The ATX · #**2157** Posted **Aug 12, 2019, 10:53 PM**

That last photo was by gabetx.

the Genral · #**2158** Posted **Aug 12, 2019, 11:44 PM**

I love the photos, but they are a bit deceptive. They all tend to make Austin look more dense than it actually is.

Oh totally....I'm still waiting for that day when I walk/drive through downtown and think "holt shit this is a metropolis". We're on our way

Jdawgboy · #**2160** Posted **Aug 13, 2019, 3:06 PM**

We are on our way. Drive down 2nd, 3rd or 4th, even 5th to an extent. Those have impressive canyon effect corridors which will only continue to build up. It's funny because while we hear DT isn't very big in terms of area, maybe it isn't compared to other cities, I wouldn't know to be honest. Still DT is pretty spread out IMO. Especially with the West End extending the skyline to Lamar. Also part of the problem is elevation. The view of DT from the north is just not that impressive but that is due to the elevation dropping down to the river more gradually so much of that area of DT is hidden from view completely. You just can't really get the full scope of the skyline from the north compared to south of the river.
