it looks like there is a crappy gym on the top floor of the Austonian -- what a waste of space

randalls · #**3502** Posted **Dec 7, 2023, 1:44 PM**

Haha when it flew by the top of that building I thought the gym looked lame. Definitely could have done other things with the top floor of that bldg.

Thanks again for the video! Great stuff!

Nice shots, gillynova. Let this one breath a minute before you dilute yet another of my posts with 50 pictures

I'm due a trip to downtown, I just can't decide if I should go during the day or night. Both times look amazing.

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.

Great photography.

It's always good to see the progress Austin is making in the city center. Nothing short of amazing.

The last few times I made trips to Austin it was interesting to see how green the landscape is, even after such a hot dry summer.

All it takes is a shower or two and things will green up around here. The green look is deceptive, however, because we are actually in the middle of a persistent and troubling drought.

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.

Here is one of Rainey at night - sort of hard to see

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.

Honestly love these captures from far away in the city!

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.
