It has changed from its' white and sky blue to a green argon color. What an amazing picture. It reminds me of Bank of America Plaza at Dallas.

I was going for a kind of comic/graphic novel look for it. Seems kind of ominous like something that would make Alex Jones cry!

Thanks yall!

good idea to create an "etc" thread.

That white dot is Jupiter apparently.

Pretty cool video. Is that Walnut Creek at 2:22?

It's pretty amazing to see how the Pfluger bridge has evolved into an impromptu gathering area, with little events and music happening many evenings.. The images from 3:34 - on with all the hipsters gathered on the bridge, and the new dense residential buildings in the background, really remind me of something you would see in Portland or Seattle...

If they were doing the smokey, maybe that end of the bridge is ready for a consession stand...mmm...$$ When and if progress gets underway at the powerplant, the gap between the Monarch and 360 will fill up and light up nicely. Interesting how the more we build, the more we need to build.

good guess. a bit further north, perhaps too far from austin to be fair - it's crystal falls.

Kevin, did you build the lego model of downtown Austin? I am creating an amazing website www.downtownaustincondos.com which should be up in a month and was wondering if you wanted to let me add any of your vidoes and/or lego pics.
