Sweet. That's the Oracle Campus I presume. I've been considering checking out that view.

The first two photos are awesome angles. The Hotel Van Halen thanks to Eddie's trademark guitar artwork makes it stand out a bit. 70 Rainey looks great but is blocking some important buildings. I wish we could see a photoshop of 6 X G in there to get an idea of its impact on the Skyline which by the way is looking pretty freak'in awesome from south to north looking from the east and east to west looking from the south. Amazing view for those lucky employees. The trees, the water...holy shit, what a pretty city...
Wouldn't 6 X G pop up somewhere behind the Frost Tower in those picks?

I don't know why I've never gone wandering around the fields at Austin High. There really are some good views of the skyline over there. It's just kind of off the beaten path for me.

I'd be no good on the team there. Not just because I'm scrawny and have no interest in football, but because of that skyline view. Me: "Oh, what, Coach? Sorry..."

Coach: Let's run Blue 42...Blue 42, guys

KevinFromTexas: Not to quibble coach, but if you are referring to the glass window pigmentation it's actually a low iron Viracon coating that only appears blue to the human eye.

Coach: KevinFromTexas, hit the showers (rolls his eyes as he's saying it).

Yep.

That view of the top of Independent makes me wonder how it would look with a cap on that thing with some lights shining down inside to make those mesh walls glow.
