SunKing Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 With all that I have recieved, I figured it was about time I contributed a little something back to these forums. I took these from the 47th floor of the 1600 Smith building (Continental Center). I wish the weather was better that day, but I hope y'all enjoy regardless. http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_01.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_02.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_03.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_04.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_05.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_06.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_07.jpg http://www.bradberryman.com/images/houston_2006_08.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1976 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) neat! they look so "atmospheric!"is this floor public...or? That's a good point. I wish there was a list somewhere of buildings that have lookout areas open to the public. Great pictures, by the way.

kenc Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm not from Houston so I have to ask... what is that "ring" that runs through the buildings on the 7th pic? It;s really cool looking whatever purpose it serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scharpe St Guy Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Those are the infamous Enron Buildings. The ring is an elevated walk way above street level that connects the buildings which are now occupied by ChevronTexaco.Scharpe St GuyI'm not from Houston so I have to ask... what is that "ring" that runs through the buildings on the 7th pic?

SunKing Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Thanks folks. No, there isn't any 'public' viewing area - I work there. Well, not on that floor. 47 is undergoing revovation (mostly empty). I just had an opportunity to snap a few pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tierwestah Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I just wanted to know what everyone thinks of the new lighting on the crown of the Continential Building. Personally, i miss the blue lighting with the Continential logo but i still like the new lighting because its a little more pronounced. Does anyone know why they stopped the blue lighting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 looked cool from the 2nd floor of high fashion fabrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karick42 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I noticed it last night while I was over at U of H. I liked the blue a lot as well but I don't have a problem with the new one they have.What does it look like now? I've not been out late in some time.If I remember correctly it's just white but I think it actually makes the Continental Building stand out even more now because the blue seemed to blend in more with the night sky.

houstonfella Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I noticed the new lighting on my way in this morning. Very cool. Much better than the blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorAggie Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've noticed it too. I like it much better! It definitely has more impact on the skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've noticed it too. I like it much better! It definitely has more impact on the skyline.Wow I didn't know it changed...

Houston19514 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 This post was recognized by Highrise Tower! Houston19514 was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 1000 points. I've been wondering about that as well. I prefer the blue with the logo. I was wondering if the equipment that does the logo projection was damaged by Ike...

CoolBuddy06 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Is it just me? I like the blue more. This new one is more visible but the blue is kind of cool with the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feufoma Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I noticed someone welding on the lights last Friday night. I believe they're just repairing the lighting-it'll probably revert back to the blue/ logo, which is a good thing IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayshoota Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I noticed it a few nights ago. I like the new lighting and hope they keep it. Looks really sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tierwestah Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 ACTUALLY, last night driving downtown, i officially decided that i like the new lighting. It makes more of a distinction in the skyline. However, if they do end up going back blue, i hope they use a light blue that's just as noticable as this.

gardenoaksguy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It used to be white before Continental moved into the building and changed it to blue with the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It used to be white before Continental moved into the building and changed it to blue with the logo.That is correct. But I think these recent white lights might be slightly different from the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
