The Frost Tower as seen from the cage elevator descending down the side off of the crane from the top of The Austonian building in Austin, Texas the evening of September 8, 2009. The Austonian is a residential skyscraper currently under construction in Austin. Accoring to their blog, "standing tall at 683 feet upon completion, The Austonian will be the tallest residential building in the western United States."
Special thanks to Flickr friend Steve Hopson and the good folks with The Austonian for hooking me up with this opportunity to shoot from the yet-to-be-finished $8M 54th floor penthouse.
Ladybird Lake (formerly known as Town Lake) as seen from the Penthouse. BTW, that's a nearly 30 story skyscraper we are looking down on.

Alex, I always enjoy looking at your pics. Thanks for sharing. Very cool...very cool indeed.
You lucky dog! Great shots.
Sounds like a fun place to take your camera -- and clearly you took great advantage of the opportunity. The photos are just stunning.
Top shot of the The Austonian is superb - strong colours and love the restricted view from the foreground.
