That's not even downtown Houston. To get a good concept of Houston you have to get WAY out to see the skylineS...as in plural...

Especially at night w/ the stoic glow of downtown, the beacon that is uptown/greenway and then the twin lights of the TMC. I need to try to get a good H-town skylines pic

This picture is just of uptown and downtown Houston.

I think uptown is going to see a building boom in a few decades, it's becoming one of the hot spots for Houston.

Actually, downtown IS in that picture.... about dead center, those little buildings buched up together.

I wanted to get a picture of how Houston looks with MOST of its skylines in. I don't think that's all the skylines of Houston, but it shows most of it.

^ yea, Houston has 3 skylines if you include the Medical Center. DT is a very good skyline IMO. And it has some density to it
