Beautiful. That angle from the southwest always makes Wells Fargo look taller than Chase

Ok guys. Let's stop discussing other cities in the Incredible Photos of Houston Thread.

This picture is stunning!
What part of Houston is that? :worship:

Midtown/Fourth Ward looking toward Uptown at dusk.

That still is a phenomenal photo. Wish I were lurking about the garages at the right time to get such shots :tup:

I think Dallas and Houston are pretty comparable. Many of the buildings share some stylistic similarities. Both cities also suffered the same fate in their downtowns... lots of of activity up through the 40s, then a near death experience in the 50s and 60s, boomtown resurgence in the 70s 80s, and now a SLOW but steady revitalization period. Both cities have very similar development patterns, so it makes sense that they look similar as well.

Los Angeles is really the original model for "sprawl metros", and since it started recovering sooner than the Texas cities, the density is much more developed there. The only big mistake in LA is that they waited so long to revive their rail transit system.

:previous: Interesting. but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Incredible Photos of Houston. Please remove your comments and replace them with a photo of Houston instead.

It's like a bad mug shot that dogs a celebrity for years or a photo of a politician in a comprimising situation.
Wow! I have never seen anything like this. :koko:

Based on the buildings on the edge of downtown that are visible in the photo, it looks like possibly early 70s. Most of that area is filled in now, thank goodness.

LA and Houstons skylines are probably the most similar of any skylines in the U.S.
