I absolutely love the first one! Great shots, I really enjoyed them.

Houston looks very diverse. Great!

Probably your best Houston thread yet. I like the approach you took from the deck.

Awesome as usual, LSyd. This was a particularly valuable look at density inside the loop, and in a few pictures, outside--as I recognized a few skyscrapers stretching west of Memorial City out towards between Beltway 8 and Highway 6.

This bldg is awesome. Reminds me a lot of the old Houston Press bldg at Milam and Pease that I spent a lot of time in during the 90s as a pre-teen, when my mom worked there. Almost thought this was it..but it's a bit shorter.

the red building is Hogg Palace. Its a condo complex, a very nice one i might add. and has always been housing from what i know. the houston press building is on the otherside of downtown or at least it is now.

@LYSD - great pics. i love this set. this is probaly and the 12th or 13th time i have viewed this thread. youre making me really want to go by a zoom lens.

VISIT TAPACHULA CHIAPAS WITH THE NEW AIR ROUTE

HOUSTON-TUXTLA!

TAPACHULA IS AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC CENTER (AGRICULTURE) AND THE BORDER WITH GUATEMALA

Awesome shots!!

:applause: :applause:

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing and posting!

Love how the high rises are all over the place makes H-town look much more bigger than how I usually see it

By 2020 / 2025 Houston is going to be a more populated city than Chicago.

Awesome pictures. :banana::banana::banana:

I have always loved Houston. A very interesting and diverse city with the most hospitable people. I'm looking forward to seeing how the different projects will come along (especially Light Rail, the Main Street Masterplan, and the Buffalo Bayou Masterplan).

bump!

great shots man! Houston is amazing
