San Antonio makes a nice circle due to their superior freeway system with loops. Austin is turning into an octopus.

It will be interesting to see the how the I35 section between the cities grows in 10 years.

I would like to see a view north to Georgetown. An airline pilot told me the lights of Round Rock were pretty impressive also.

I'm pretty sure that does include Georgetown, it's just a continuous blob through round rock into Georgetown. I think that blob at the very top left is Killeen.

That picture definitely includes Round Rock and Georgetown. That's Fort Hood and Killeen in the upper left.

It's also a lot more sprawly.

Central Austin is very dense for a Texan city and getting denser every year. The hills to the west have contributed to the fact of why we don't have a loop system

You can easily see where the hill country starts because of the lack of development.

Great photo! What's interesting is that most of the west side of Austin (in the dark) is quite packed with suburban neighborhoods without street lights.

I was thinking the same thing. I think that is Killeen also.
