It's the weather. When the sky turns rainy and gray, it's just yuck for photos. All the colors become dulled and distorted. Plus, it's pretty drab looking anyway when the weather is like that. Nighttime photography though when the weather is cloudy, is really nice. It makes for some really interesting skies since the light actually shows the texture and shape of the clouds at night. Everything is also lit more evenly at night since the city lights are reflected by the clouds.

I thought maybe it was also the smaller number of buildings coming out of the ground these days.

Have they actually installed the windmills yet?

rdavis4559 · #**2693** Posted **Dec 4, 2009, 2:28 AM**

I can't see too well but I don't think they have.

Well, Im back in town and went around and took photos of most of the construction and what not going around downtown and in TMC. I went to the Woodlands yesterday and Ill post some of those photos too of construction going on around there.

Discovery Tower and such is on the left, going south on 59 this morning.

TMC

Almost completed mid rise in TMC

Another new mid rise in TMC across from the one above

The new YMCA building downtown

Mainplace

Hess Tower

Discovery Green/Hess Tower yay

Hess Discovery Tower, I think they are about to install the windmills

MainPlace

Embassy Suites

Harris County Courthouse restoration

MainPlace

The tower on the left has been recently completed, this is on the Woodlands Waterway, an incredible urban development taking place in well, the woodlands

A new hotel in the Market Square, near the mall.

This is a map of the Woodlands Waterway development, the area I have outlined in purple has yet to be built. Most of the yellow buildings along the waterway are going to be 6-12 story midrises. The neighborhood on the left of the map will be a dense recreation of a new Orleans neighborhood and the areas that have been completed really do look amazing, like, it almost fooled me that they were new. The amount of detail is incredible and the scope of the whole development is also quite incredible.

Thanks for the updates, it has been awhile for any updates. Wish you would have taken some shots of the New Orleans type neighborhood, didn't realize that type of stuff was going on over there.

AstrosFreak · #**2696** Posted **Dec 21, 2009, 9:56 PM**

Great updates! Was just in Houston this past week and really enjoyed my time there! Discovery Green was nice and packed with the ice rink and hot air balloon lift! My family there is trying to get me to move there! We shall see!
