That would be an interesting view. Maybe we can encourage Christopher Sherman (?) from OverAustin to fly around and take shots in different directions. Or anyone else with a drone who could get necessary permissions to fly over the Capitol (I'm assuming you'd need permission for that).

I will add, however, that it might not be as striking since there's no focal point (i.e., dome) in the other directions. Not until there's a lot more density at least.

They haven't let him fly in the Capitol Complex since October 2015. You can do it, but you have to request permission through two state agencies who haven't given out flying rights since the drone prohibition at the Complex was enacted.

Bummer. Silly red tape.
