I had mentioned in another thread that a buddy of mine operates tower cranes around the city, a couple of notable jobs being the Independent and Northshore. He sent me some really awesome photos that in some cases, are firsts for Austin. You can see what I mean in these shots below.

^Wow. What an awesome photo! I saw the 747 fly out over our neighborhood in August. I was out back doing some yard work, and I heard it roaring. I ran over to where I thought I could see it, and it was climbing pretty low on the horizon just north of me. I wish I had my camera with me at that moment because seeing it bank as it climbed was
just too cool.

Though I'm sad Frost Bank Tower can't be seen anymore, I'm excited that Block 185 will be front & center in that view - forever!

Note the different zoom levels used here - 300 West Sixth is a good reference. The Indy would rise out of the frame.

Sometimes, to me, Austin still does feel like a quaint, mid-sized city.

Hear, hear. That will look cool.

From the 44 E video:

The winding lake / river gives Austin such a unique skyline. Anyone know the distance between the Legacy and the Spring? Even though The Legacy is about to be in the shadows of a superior highrise, I have always liked it. It was the tallest building closest to I35 for years and was the first to stretch out the skyline to the southeast. Despite what came afterward and still to come, Legacy was and will always be an important add to the skyline even with the stucco exterior. It will be a nice contrast to all the shineyness that will soon engulf it.

Spring to Windsor on the Lake is 1.24 miles.

Grazie. That is impressive.

That's as the crow flies. Given the curvature of the river by car it's a bit further.

Yea, I've walked that actually a few times although I usually walk the loop from S.1st to Mopac cross over then back to 1st. Today's a perfect day for walking, love this weather!

Gorgeous sunset video clip by KVUE from their One American Center cam. Very cool with the steam rising above the Chase Bank Tower.
