Hi all. I've been a very frequent visitor for many years and love this site, but never posted. I took this pic when flying from SFO to AUS yesterday, and thought you would all enjoy it as it gets the whole city, including West Campus, and shows the development of a lot of projects.

That'd be a good Austin photo to share on the forum where it'd get more visibility.

Those pictures are incredible. I really like that angle, though 325 ATX is completely hidden.

Once everything's built up, this angle is going to have a lot of slopes.

I very much prefer to have various peaks rather than just in one single area.

Nice observation Bobby!

This photo shows 9 construction cranes by my count. Only 6 of 7 I know are in Rainey alone. 3 in DT proper with others along IH35 further towards UT. Then West Campus and South of LBL are also central. What is the total count, at this moment of time, of all the construction cranes in these respective areas?

Can someone who has easy access to these areas give us an accurate count? Por Favor. It will be both MUCH appreciated and Historically Awesome to know.

I went back to view my photos and counted 9 from Rainey District to the Republic.

In downtown proper there are 13 cranes - 7 in Rainey and 6 in the rest of downtown which includes the Capitol Complex.
