I cant believe its practically done already. Went by way to fast. It's time for another, or 3 or 4...

Yeah, I know, its pretty crazy, but its been around 2 years since they cleared the site and whatnot.

It seems just like yesterday though when I took this picture.

Lets hope we dont have to wait almost another decade to see a tower like this built downtown.

I guess for now, all we have to look forward to is the deconstruction of the old Sheraton-Lincoln building... they knocked down the (damnit, I can't think of the words for the old roof pieces at street level around the front doors, someone fill in the blank, please!) so they could put up a decontruction crane....

No, but I wish I worked in that office building, Id never get anything done, Id just stare out the windows all day long and then get fired. Anyways, that's the sky lobby in the Wells Fargo Building, the second tallest downtown.

What are you talking about?

Lights on!

I love that spot. I remember Houston Center 5 or something was suppose to go there. It was a nice project to bad it never got off the ground.

On a side note, I would prob get fired too for staring out the window all day if I had a view like that as well...

What an amazing skyscraper.

This building makes a great addition to the skyline. I just wish they would have added some mixed use stuff at the street level but there is just a lobby.

One more thing I heard as a result of this building is it may actually have sparked another development right down the street on Main next to the flying saucer that is currently a parking lot. If this happens it would get rid of one of the last surface lots on the denser part of main.

If that happens, I really really hope they dont tear down that amazing art deco building on the back side of the lot. I hope they restore it like they did with the Stowers Building on this buildings lot.

Its open now, but not sure if the employees have moved in. Last Thursday they had people touring the building.

Photos by me.

gorgeous photos, what camera and filter do you use for that perspective results?

photoLith · #**634** Posted **Jun 3, 2011, 5:57 AM**

It's not about the camera, it's about how you know how to use what you have and how to frame photographs. I use d7000 though, and never use filters nor Photoshop. You can have the best camera equipment in the world and still not get good photos. Or you can have just a cheap point and shoot and take great photos. Sorry if I sound condescending, I just can't stand it when people think others take amazing photos because of the camera when that just isn't the case. To take great photos you mainly have to understand how to properly frame photos and understand lighting. Sorry, went off on a tangent.

I think he may have asked because of the clarity and sharpness of the photo, not solely because it was a good picture. Way to jump to a conclusion
