Austin Waterfront Skyline in Fall

Austin Waterfront Skyline in Fall - We captured this Austin skyline from the waterfront in the early morning hours with great reflections in the water and fall colors in the cypress trees. Lady Bird Lake was relativity calm with only a few rowers coming through from time to time in the early morning like the one in this scene. The sun was hitting the building just about perfect and creating some nice reflections back into the calm waters along the shoreline of lake Lady Bird or town lake as many still call it. This capture was taken in front of the unique Google building and the second tallest building in Austin the Independent or Jenga Tower along with many others high rise building. Austin is a very active place and this calm doesn't last long so you have to be prepare to capture the scene fast.

Austin Skyline and Texas Capitol Sunrise 2

Austin Skyline and Texas Capitol Sunrise 2 - A tighter view looking up Congress toward the Texas Capitol with the downtown Austin skyline at sunrise. This was taken from an area referred to as SOCO which stand for South Congress. The soco area is a hip and trendy spot full of restaurants, shops, and night life which just happens to be in view of the Austin downtown along with the Texas capitol. This was taken in the early hours as I waited for the sun to come up rather the pre-dawn as it is still pretty dark but the capitol is nicely lit. There are very few times you can stand in the middle of the road in this area without being hit by a car so we haven't been back here in years. Matter of fact the last time we came here we saw one bicyclist and one scoter driver in two separate incident were hit by cars almost in this same spot of course they were not in the middle of the road like I was but it was worth it. Even in this early morning hour there was plenty of activity going on. Austin Texas is a vibrant active city it is hard to find times where you can photograph some scenes because this city doesn't seem to stop. In this view you can see the capitol, the Frost Tower, the Austonian the second tallest building along with many others. The dividing line for south congress to north congress is Lady Bird Lake Congress bridge. Update 9-28-21 D85_1174

It was a quite cold morning on the pedestrian bridge and you could hear the coots below in the water talking to each other. It is fall here in Texas and the cypress trees along Lady Bird lake or also known as town lake or showing their autumn colors with just a hint in this capture. We had been hoping for a colorful pre sunrise but not today but the clouds turned out beautiful as the sky lights them up in this scene so we were happy with this capture of the Austin skyline. You can see the railroad bridge in the view, this is a working track with trains going across yet year after year different graffiti appear. I have heard that its the work of one guy who repels over the side to do his art, not for everyone.

This was taken from an area refered to as SOCO which stand for South Congress. The soco area is a hip and trendy spot full of restaurants, shops, and night life which just happens to be in view of the Austin downtown along with the Texas capitol in this twilight image. This was taken in the early hours as I waited for the sun to come up rather the pre-dawn as it is still pretty dark but the capitol is nicely lit and you can see a little color starting to show. There are very few times you can stand in the middle of the road in this area without being hit by a car so we haven't been back here in years. Matter of fact the day before we took this while taking other pictures in downtown Austin we saw one bicylist and one scoter driver in two separate incident were hit by cars almost in this same spot of course they were not in the middle of the road like I was but it was worth it.

Dawn at Austin Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge 2023

Dawn at Austin Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge 2023 - The Pfluger Pedestrian bridge crosses Lady Bird Lake near Lamar street. It a pedestrian bridge and is quite busy most of the time on this early morning before sunrise it was almost empty so while we wait for the sunrise I capture this with the lights still on the high rise condos in this pre-dawn capture. This urban pedestrian bridge is used to cross over town lake for those walking, running or riding their bikes in the city downtown. In this view you can see some of Austin latest skyscrapers including the Independent along with Austin tallest building the Sixth and Guadalupe. Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge open in 2001 so it is a kinda of a new addition to the city of Austin in downtown and you can see the Monarch and Spring condos along with the Gables can be seen from this location. Normally you will see people running, walking or biking, skate boarding, or whatever along here pretty much all the time so for one tranquil moment it only a few.

Twilight Austin Skyline from Zilker Park

Twilight Austin Skyline from Zilker Park - While waiting for the super moon to come up I notice that the buildings had a nice light on them from this view point at Zilker park. We had been waiting two years to capture this image with Six and Guadalupe the newest and tallest high rise now in the Austin skyline. Included is also the other two previously tallest buildings the Independent and the Austonian. A lot of new buildings have been added in the last couple of years including the new Google building that has a shape similar to a sail boat. Zilker park is a favorite place to come and watch the lights come on in the Austin skyline at night. Many also come here to exercise, play a sport, etc but the cool factor is having the city skyline so big and right there as a wonderful back drop.2144

Austin Skyline with Blue Super Moon Pano - From Zilker Park another view of the Austin skyline with the blue super moon in a panorama. The term 'blue moon' might evoke images of a moon with an oceanic hue, but in fact, it refers to the second full moon appearing within a single calendar month. Such an event is a rarity, leading to the widely used saying "once in a blue moon." The blue moon appear larger in the sky because it is slightly closer. We thought this was a nice point of view for the Austin skyline from Zilker park in downtown with the blue super moon in the image. This is image includes three of the tallest buildings in downtown Austin, The Sixth and Guadalupe, the Independent and the Austonian along with the new Google building shape like a sail plus all the other high rises. It is a nightly event to come down to the park and watch the sunset as it was full of people all ready to watch for the blue super moon coming up over the city.

This image includes the newest skyscraper the Google building along with the three tallest the Austonian and Independent and the latest the Six and Guadalupe, many just call it 6th and guad on town lake as the sunrise gives these pinks, yellow and violets. For years now the view of Austin has morph from one year to the next as more high rise building are being added ever few years. We keep thinking we are done, but no there always one more that will be taller than all the others so for now it not complete because in a couple of years there will be more I am sure, but till then this is the latest. Austin Texas is one of the hottest spot to live in right now and people are moving here at a fast pace which has caused some serious growing pains, but we will adapt over time. Austin is the home to the University of Texas, along with several other schools and has a booming high tech business. Tesla has now made Austin home for one of it battery factories. The City of Austin has a lot to offer with plenty of parks and musical events along with great places to eat. Many enjoy the hike and bike trail around lady bird lake, or going to Lake Austin or Lake Travis all within a twenty to thirty miles from downtown. You will find people out on their sups or kayaks on town lake when the weather is warm. This is the latest image with Austins new tallest building the 6th and Guadalupe.

Aerial Austin Skyline at Dusk

Aerial Austin Skyline at Dusk - This is the Austin skyline at dusk with lady bird lake looking east with the moon showing up for a cameo in this aerial photo. You can see the lamar street bridge, the pedestrian bridge, Firsts and Congress bridge down the lake. We actually went to downtown Austin to capture a different view, but their was an event going on so no parking anywhere so we had to go elsewhere. In any case this is the most complete capture from this location as Austins new tallest building at Sixth and Guadalupe outside is more or less complete. Also include are the other high rise buildings like the new Google, the Independent, and the Austonian. It is always a challenge to capture an Austin skyline because it is constantly changing along town lake. At least from this point of view the skyline is mostly complete for now. Downtown Austin still has many new buildings being built so as they get more complete we will add more images of the Austin skyline. Took the moon shot separate then placed it where the moon was so I could get more details.

You also see a hint of Palmer Auditorian. This is the most complete skyline for Austin along the shoreline of town lake for now it will change in the next year as several new highrises are scheduled to go up in the next couple of years. The Austin constant changing skyline keeps us on our toes. As we have to pick the right time to capture new shots. Of course this is not new as the Austin skyline has been changing for the last ten years. This is just one of many locations to capture a photo of the city of Austin. In this image you see three of the taller buildings like the tallest for now the Independent, and second the Austonian, and with the newest edition the second Google building which looks a little like a sail mast.

This is the most complete skyline for Austin along the shoreline of town lake for now it will change in the next year as several new highrises are scheduled to go up in the next couple of years. The Austin constant changing skyline keeps us on our toes. As we have to pick the right time to capture new shots. Of course this is not new as the Austin skyline has been changing for the last ten years. This is just one of many locations to capture a photo of the city of Austin. In this image you see three of the taller buildings like the tallest for now the Independent, and second the Austonian, and with the newest edition the second Google building which looks a little like a sail mast.

Austin Skyline Twilight 23

Austin Skyline Twilight 23 - Another capture of the Austin skyline from the hike and bike trail south of Lady Bird Lake at twilight. This was actually taken at the dawn or twilight hour right before sunrise comes up. We are trying to get some skyline of Austin before the next round of high rises start popping up in the skyline. It is a never ending battle to captured the latest skyline since it changes ever couple of years. For now we have the latest high rises with the new Sixth and Guadalupe tower that is the tallest at 875 feet which make its one of the tallest in the south. The other two tallest build that held the title previously are also included, the Independent with a height of 690 and the Austonian at 683. Along with our tallest is the new google building that has a shape like a sail boat. It was a calm morning along the town lake so it gave us some nice reflections of the buildings along the shoreline in the water of town lake in this aerial capture of the city of Austin. Many of the buildings still had lights on which created this dazzling glow to hep the Austin skyline pop in the sky with clouds that had a violet crown colors as a backdrop. At least for now the downtown shoreline from this area is complete with the latest Austin skyline in view in this sunrise capture. How long this title for Austin's tallest skycraper stays is unknown, but I am sure there will be more competition for the title. The Frost bank tower can barely be seen now which sits behind the Austonian which was one of first skycrapers in the city of Austin. We had a nice pre dawn sunrise where the sky produced some nice colors of violet, pinks, orange and blues along which gave a nice backdrop to the Austin skyline view in this capture. We capture this from the the lamar bridge over Lady Bird lake looking towards the downtown part of the city.

This image caputures the Texas Capitol plus some of the Austin skyline which makes a nice backdrop for the capital building. They have been working on the mall for years and even after they had completed was not complet, but we finally had a clear shot of the capitol. This had previously been a city street now you can actually walk from MLK to the Texas Capitol on the sidewalks at the new mall. We were happy to still see the Frost top and the Austonian still in this view from the south side of congress. The new mall has sidewalks with lights along and benches to sit and enjoy the view. Also they added several new state office buildings in the area trying to bring all the office into the capitol complex.

Austin Skyline Sunrise - We captured this Austin skyline image before the sun acually broke the horizon on this morning in downtown . The sky painted the sky with some pinks, yellow, purple and blues which was a lovely backdrop on this day for the austin skyline. We have been trying to capture this shot for some time but there was so much going on with the protest and constant building that we waited for break. We will need to come back in a few years as their are plans for two more buildings that will be two hundred feet taller than the tallest building the Independent in Austin now. Austin skyline has been constantly changing over the years so we have tried to catch it as the latest batch of building have been finished. This images captures the congress bridge that leads your eye to the Texas Capitol in downtown Austin. The Texas Capitol is a landmark and favorite tourist location to visit when people come to town. In this aerial image you can see our second tallest building the Austonian and the Frost and many others along the water front. Lately the Lady Bird Lake has been getting more and more crowed as they are constanly building new high rises along the colorado river water front.
