After reading this forum for the past year or so, I finally got to visit Austin, last week. While most of my time was spent attending a conference and visiting with my family, I was able to get a few pictures with my phone. The quality isn't the greatest, and most of you will have seen many of these same shots. Even so, I tried to come up with some slightly different viewing angles, just to make these a little more interesting.
Downtown, from Mount Bonnell:
From Auditorium Shores:
From San Jacinto street:
From Pfluger Bridge:
The Catherine, from South First bridge:
The exploding west end of downtown, from Auditorium Shores:
Northshore, from Cesar Chavez street:
Seaholm, from Cesar Chavez street:
I'm an Austin expatriate, living in Redondo Beach, CA (Los Angeles metro area) and one thing all of you now living in Austin should know is that pictures don't do the skyline justice - it's much more impressive in person. Austin should be proud of what it has and of what it's going to have once all of these buildings have been built.
