Oh man, those are nice. You can see the Zilker Tree in those Barton Creek Mall pics. Great pics.

Nice pics lonestar mike, man in my opinion I think we are starting to think that Austin is one of the best skylines in the U.S. But thats my opinion

Thank you everyone for posting all these fantastic photos. We went from having a serious photo drought, to a photo overload. I'm loving it.

Thanks for the photos everyone, they are awesome. I wonder if the west side hotel guests and residents of the W are going to have issues with the green lights of AMLI.

KevinFromTexas · #**7026** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 3:10 AM**

I took some too.

First photos I've taken of Austin this new decade!

I took my Raleigh mountain bike down to St. Ed's for these. I just about froze on the ride back.

Picture overload which is great! Many thanks to all who taken these pictures of our beautiful city!

What's up with 100 Congress and their nighttime lighting? Could the Ashton be the reason they are dark!

Here's one I took on Thursday from a unit I'm thinking of renting. I figured y'all might appreciate this vantage point.

TXLove · #**7030** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 3:39 AM**

^^Yes.... great vantage point!

KevinFromTexas · #**7031** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 3:45 AM**

Nice shot. If you have any more, feel free to post them. Wink, wink. Nice avatar by the way.

Blakesalot! · #**7032** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 4:00 AM**

Thanks, guys! Here are the best of the rest from that day:

KevinFromTexas · #**7033** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 4:31 AM**

Nice views. The Austonian will probably block the morning light, and because you're on the north side would probably miss the afternoon light.

NYC2ATX · #**7034** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 4:39 AM**

God. I will never stop being obsessed with the transformation of this city.

Wow! Great pictures everyone. That St. Ed's view is looking great and I love all the colors at night. Did anyone happen to notice a new lighting scheme on the Holiday Inn Town Lake? I saw it while northbound on I-35. It looked like green spotlights aimed upwards at about where the hotel rooms start just above the parking garage. The effect was green stripes up the front of the building the same shade of green as the "Holiday Inn" sign.

And speaking of unique vantage points, I spent New Year's weekend at the Westgate Tower at a friend's unit on the 15th floor. I also went up to the pool on the 25th floor and got some shots. I haven't had time to fix them and upload them all, but here's some of the night shots.

Austin's skyline is developing nicely.

Thanks. I was winking though because I figured your avatar pic was from your trip to Ashton. My avatar is just from a pic I took over on 3rd Street near Spring.

Awesome Pics everyone!!!!

priller · #**7040** Posted **Jan 4, 2010, 4:07 PM**

Great pics from the Westgate, Mike! There are a lot of nice views from there. What are the units like? I've never been in there before.
