Austin skyline then and now

The Austin skyline looking north from the south 1st Street Bridge.

The first image was taken on New Year’s Eve 2006/2007. I took that image while riding my pedicab across the south 1st street bridge. The W Austin, The Austonian, Spring, Monarch, 360 building all were being built. The Frost Bank building was the tallest building in Austin.

The second picture was taken on January 30th (2015), eight years later. The only constant in the changing skyline are the cranes. Notice, you can no longer see the Frost bank from the bridge.
