In a couple of views from the UT tower, the brown building with no windows and a large dish on top is the communications building where Austin City Limits is taped!

Yes, that's the Jessie H. Jones Communication Building.

Great set of photos here that one of the other Austin forumers found on flickr.
Photos by Straight-No Chaser on flickr.com http://flickr.com/photos/straight-nochaser/ Frost Bank Tower. On cloudy and foggy nights the lights from the building's crown make some interesting shapes in the clouds. The square shape in the sky is the result of the 4 points of the crown. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2257/...cc11084a_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2010/...12980d6f_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1064/...8876bd0a_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2071/...09182a4d_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser Views from the roof of 360 Condominiums. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2391/...8fb50c48_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2020/...82807130_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2406/...3dd11eff_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2163/...d3a13ace_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2327/...633c465b_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2309/...2f6b79b0_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2003/...37d5d7e6_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2226/...8a279d1f_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2284/...c05c00ca_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1048/...d78d03eb_b.jpg Photos by Straight-No Chaser The Pennybacker Bridge crossing the Colorado River (Lake Austin) in West Austin.

Austin is underrated. IMO:tup:
|
The photos by loudtiger and Straight-No Chaser are the most beautiful shots of Austin I've ever seen. I really like the shot of Auditorium Shores (I wonder what's happening on the 1st Street bridge in that shot?).
And that night shot is my new desktop.:tup: |
Love the trees...
|
those 360 shots are awesome!!!!!

Yep. The University of Texas at Austin. It's the third largest univeristy in the U.S. behind Ohio State and the University of Minnesota.
|
Yep. UT. Between 48,000 and 50,000 students with 20,000 employees. It's almost like a separate city. It's located immediately north of downtown.
|
Very nice finds, the photography in some of those pics is extraordinary.

A few shots of the Lakewind Water Tower. Yes, water tower. This was a dilapidated water tower on Lake Travis in West Austin. It sits on a hill overlooking Mansfield Dam and the 620 Bridge across the Colorado River. The 157 foot tower was restored in 2000 and a lantern room was added to the top to make it appear as a lighthouse. It also got a new paint job. The tower is also lit with a beacon that fades in and out to make it appear that it's rotating.

I was noticing how much downtown has changed just since the bulk of these photos were taken. Sure looks a lot better these days! |
Cor-ten (or corten) is a weathering steel alloy. It was developed to eliminate the need for painting. The steel forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of the weather.

Austin before and after
The two photos below were taken near the Zilker Club House in West Austin. The first one was taken in about 1985, and the 2nd one was taken just a few days ago.
