With Austin's ever-growing skyline, I took advantage of a clear autumn day to gram skyline shots from west and southwestern Hill Country vantage points. Enjoy!

Great photos, Mopacs. One question, though. What is that white thing on the horizon - kind of shaped like a mountain - in this photo?
Oops..sorry for the belated rply.
Yes, that is the Great Hills Baptist Church. The massive church is located along Jollyville Rd, near Braker Lane. The large building to the right is a new retirement mid-rise along Great Hills Trail.
