Austin skyline shots @ sunset, (and stuff).

Ok, so here's a small update with something different at the end! We made two trips that day to take a dog to our vet to be neutered and we stopped off on the way back for some pics.


Dell Children's Medical Center. They were removing the crane that day.




On the return trip the 2nd time, the crane was already down.


Some sunset shots.






Anyone know what they're doing to the mechanical penthouse on the Westgate Tower? I saw they were removing it. Sorry for the blur, (highway shot).


I had planned on going up into the Whole Foods garage to get a better view of what they were doing to the Westgate Tower, of course, from that view it's blocked by the criminal justice center. No bother, the weather was beautiful, so was the sunset. I could have stayed there all night.



The skyline with the sunset that evening was absolutely beautiful. I ate it up.




The Monarch construction was really interesting. They were still working, (it was around 6 pm then), and the crane was moving around as was the concrete pumper.






AMLI II and 360 construction.


AMLI II construction.






Note the crane for The Shore.

Those evening shots were stunning. Loved the pan and the dancing cranes.

Those pics are FANTASTIC Kevin! I echo the previous posts...the sunset and evening shots are incredible, as is the Pano and the animated Monarch crane shot! That view from the old Whold Foods garage is turning out to be a great vantage point for viewing our ever expanding skyline.

Speaking of the Dell Childrens medical Center/Mueller...I've got some updated shots of the area that I'll post very soon.

Thanks, guys. I just about froze up there, though. That was on the 8th long before all the ice moved in, but it was cool, clear and windy.
