The only highway in that photo is I-35 where it crosses the river.

And that is looking southeast.
The crossoverpass bridge is Riverside drive.

great pics!

I was just thinking how sad it was that we get so few updates in the forum, these days. Thanks for the latest batch of pics! Some of those are really amazing!

I agree. Definitely developing that linear look north out of downtown. Domain area may not be Buckhead or Perimeter, but it is getting taller and more visible from a distance. Too bad we don't have MARTA heavy rail connecting all the dots.

I know there has been a lot of scrutiny about the double floor facade on Waterline making it look smaller than it actually is as a 1,000 footer. However, I'm just wondering if when all is completed, if at night you'll see all the floors light up one by one and it will look much taller.

Yeah, it will definitely show the floors more clearly at night with lights.

I personally don't mind the facade, so there's that also.

Let's take another helicopter ride over downtown Austin 30+ years ago.
