Go during the day, stay until night. Buy yourself a nice dinner at one of the many fine restaurants. Night comes very early these days.

I was driving from the Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood on FM 1826 and up on hill I could see Sixth and Guadalupe in the distance. Very cool!

Yeah, that's my favorite thing about this building. It keeps popping up on the horizon in places I could never see downtown from before. It makes downtown seem closer.

Makes one wonder just how far people will be able to see Waterline once it tops out. For those in the know, how will Waterline's height compare to Sixth and Guadalupe when ground elevation is considered?

I don't know, but probably I'd imagine if 6G was 130' taller, that's about where Waterline would stick out at various places. You might be able to see it near Lost Pines.

I recently spotted 6xG from Lakeline Blvd near Crystal Falls Pkwy in Leander (approx 20 miles). It unexpectedly popped up behind the water towers.





I also spotted it once from atop a ridge near Liberty Hill (approx 27 miles away).

Friendly correction: 20.27 miles.

Idk if it’s your new drone or you’ve greatly improved your flying skills, but I love how smooth your drone videos have been lately.

Thanks, man. I took note from the suggestions and am not flying like a bat out of hell. Those wild shots are harder than just keeping it steady. And somehow I have like 10k youtube subscribers, up from like 250 a little over a month ago. So, thank y'all for telling me to chill.

Fantastic videos. I've forwarded them on to a lot of people over the last few months. All are very impressed.

I really appreciate it. The CEO of Kairori loved some of them, too

Glad to hear we helped haha. Seriously though, loving all the new videos. Very professional. Great new angles.

Earlier this week I saw one of your videos posted in a Berlin, Germany thread at Skyscrapercity.
