That CVC is so obvious and pretty cool, that is if you are exactly where that drone is at the same height and angle. Most of the time my feet are on the ground though. Who exactly benefits from it?

All the people whose windows face its boundary, because they will always have magnificent views. All the people walking within it, because they will always have an open view of the sky. All the people driving past the end of it, because they will always have that view of the capitol dome, as well as of the uniqueness of the corridor itself.

This is one of my favorite CVC's. Can you not see the Capital from the bridge? I have never been on that bridge yet.

Great photos Jason!

You can see the Capitol dome from the surface of the bridge, but it is much more prominent with a little elevation.

Do you have different resolution settings on our camera? Some of your photos are a little grainy, but these two are beautiful!

It could be over editing or because I am posting photos from facebook and it really degrades the quality. I use to use flickr but they changed the sign in and I havent been able to access it since.

I drive down the bridge every day, you can definitely see the capitol dome from it from just about the entire length of the bridge. The only thing that obstructs a part of the CVC is the mechanical box on top of the Faulk library and a moon tower

I believe the actual CVC is from the Lamar bridge.

A new film from Robert Rodriguez just posted a trailer on Netflix. Since it was filmed here, we get shots of Austin. The first frame of the trailer has us being invaded.

Here's a screen grab of the first frame. It looks like it is from 3rd street looking east next the state garage.

Shark Boy and Lava Girl 2 was filmed in ATX.... lmaoooo. That's actually pretty awesome

So were the Spy Kids movies. The 3D one where they were fighting in the US capital was actually filmed in Austin's Capital District because it can pass off as DC from most angles.

Hey, that’s the Mandalorian.

I got me a drone! Here are some of my first shots. I probably could have gotten some better quality shots using manual mode, but I was focusing more on learning how to fly it. There definitely will be more to come.

These are really great. With so much construction going on, it's nice to see it in a way that gives you an idea of how the skyline will look and also what's finished recently. And holy moly, the Domain is going to be its own skyline up there.

SO lovely!!! We've come a long way!!

I do wish you could see more 20+ story buildings in some suburban areas. There's something oddly comforting about that with more established TX cities.

The Zilker Christmas Tree is lit, and they've switched to LEDs. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like LEDs and all, but I prefer the more Christmasy hues of incandescent bulbs, at least, on the big tree anyway.

It's been LED's for several years now at least, lol.

I'm with you, I despise color LEDs. I prefer the warm glow of the incandescent. If they could replicate that look with LED's i'd be all for it.
