Wow! that's an amazing photo. Love that angle. Austin looks really large. That photo would make a good platform for someone with good photoshop skills, and you know who you are, to add in the buildings u/c or proposed.
I miss the Austin skyline made outta legos.

This shows how much smaller south Austin is compared to the north. Those two office buildings on the big hill towards the right of frame are, by Austin standards, relatively far South. They look super close to downtown.

This pic is not from the recent "snow dusting" we received this past week. The Ashbel Smith Hall (white building) on the corner of Colorado and W.Seventh was imploded in March 2018 to make room for the Indeed tower that is now well under construction.
This really feels like a full circle place in time from where we were just over a decade ago. I remember this render (not sure who made it) and how everyone was sooo excited about this. We've moved past the awkward gaps in the skyline and sparse streets to this budding metropolis. I can't wait to see where we'll be in another 10 years!
A couple more big ones and the skyline will rival Dallas. I remember in the late 70s and early 80s when Austin's two biggest downtown were the gold and black buildings. The gold one isn't gold anymore and I think that's the black one tucked behind Frost (I think... I'm not even sure.) Insane.
