^ HOLY SHIT!
|
^^Thats a great picture, it really shows all the great highrises and shows how much potential there is, with all the vacant land around downtown. The density takes a nosedive right outside the CBD. Is there any major condo construction around downtown?

Houston's Medical Center (largest in the world):

^After New York and Chicago theres a distinct dropoff to #3. Houston is not a clear #3, it depends on what you are talking about. Houston is probably the next tallest average, but SF is much denser and has way more buildings over 15 stories than H-town, just not quite as tall. Miami is right in there as well, and may be 3rd tallest average right now, easily if you count Miami Beach....but theres a lot of good skylines out there of which Minneapolis is definitely one.

Hey guys..thanks for the replys. But let's stop with the comparisons. This thread was intended for people to look at and enjoy some Incredible photos of Houston. Please comment about the pictures and not about personal size issues. Thanks:tup:

:cheers: I'd agree on your comment, LA, Houston, and even Dallas are similar with spread out multiple skylines.... |

ugh...I can't believe i'm taking the bate. but, here's L.A. and Houston side by side. Now, after this let's stop it with the comparisons.
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4.../lahouston.jpg they both look good IMO. None better than the other. |
Wow, now that puts it in perspective. Desktop material there.
That Houston freeway looks a bit puny though.....;) Only kidding... That is really cool though...... |
Sweet!
The one of LA though is taken from an angle that makes it appear dense. A better & denser view of Houston for comparison sake would have been a shot viewed from the east like this one. http://texasfreeway.com/Houston/phot...-2001_hres.jpg Texasfreeway.com |
:previous: sorry..i made it, so i get to choose which photo. :)
thanks SLO :tup: I'll continue searching for some more incredible photos of Houston |
Continuing...

Cool shots!

Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!! I have never seen a more stunning thread of Houston's skyline(s) ever. So many of the shots are so vivid it is almost unreal. Kudos to all the photographers as well.

I swear, I would drive all the way downtown just so that I could look at Houston's skyline over and over again.
|
nice pics
|
Nice pics. Are there any pedestrians in this city?
|
yeah..but u can't see them becuase they're taking the pictures. ;) j/k
I haven't been living in Houston for that long, and most of the times i've been downtown it's usually empty. But then i found out about the extensive tunnel system in downtown: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/...a4f8f6b6_o.jpg flickr Airburst it's crazy full down there!! Kinda scary too. ghost town up top and all these crazy moles "down" town. :haha: |

:previous: the ghost town occured on saturday morning, except for discovery green..jammed packed!. I have family visiting from out of town and they're completely surprised at how "quite" this big city is. The place everyone really seems to like is the village. You actually see people shopping and walking outdoors. I love that place too.

I usually think of Houston "overall" as chaotic and anything but quiet. But I would say Austin's downtown is a lot busier than Houston's, at least at this point. Houston does have a lot of quiet, very peaceful residential neighborhoods where it's hard to believe you're right in the middle of a big city. |
