^Nice.

The Westin Hotel almost looks like an old building from the 30s here, especially with it paired up with the Avenue Lofts in the lower right, and the old highrises in the background at 7th & Congress. I like the juxtaposition between those and the more modern and bigger highrises on the left side of the photo.

Does anyone know when the new downtown Metro Station is supposed to happen? All the fancy changes that they talked about a while ago...I'm looking at this picture trying to imagine what it would look like from that vantage point.

A neat before and after of our skyline.

We live in a city, built in a forest.

I really wish that we had an aerial photograph that captured the entirety of the current skyline.

I know. They almost always cut off one end (or both) of the skyline.

This is a pretty good aerial video looking south from around 15th Street & Guadalupe.

Agreed - if there was a panoramic of Kevin's post (1187), that would be great. A normal photo would lose some of the details because it'd have to back out quite a bit, but I suppose that'd be okay, too.
