You picked a bad example. 10 years ago, the Oasis was pretty, but not spectacular, and it is definitely not in the Austin city limits. Now there is very little water in Lake Travis, and one has to cope with arguably one of the ugliest restaurant/retail complexes in the U.S ( Vegas on the cheap in the hillocks of Central Texas), serving unarguably the worst Tex-Mex food in the world, in order to peer through pseudo Tuscan McMansions of unspeakable architectural horror at a collection of sandbars in a shriveled up dam. The Oasis is now hideous.
There are beautiful places in Austin: Red Bud Isle, Mount Bonnell, and Austin has pretty geography, and gorgeous for Texas, but in terms of its natural environs, it is no Pittsburgh.
I thought the Oasis was in the city limits??? my bad. I put up that picture due to the beauty of the hills and lake although we do need rain bad. Also I do agree, the food is ok there but nothing spectacular. Also I will be heading out to west Austin so will defiantly bring my camera.

Wow Austin is being under-sold a bit in this thread. Very nice pics and thanks for sharing.
