    What's Your Favorite Houston Skyline?

    in General Houston Discussions

    Posted

    I would like to change my #1.

    Google directed me west on the beltway from 45 south, and then up 59 to Hilcroft, with turns into voss leading to San Felipe.

    I have never for some reason driven this way my whole life. There were rad 80's buildings on both sides of the black top freeway, and heading north on 59 the Williams Tower looked so majestic I felt like I had seen it for the first time. Uptown was gleaming. I cannot describe it other than absolutely incredible.

    So, #1 hands down is Uptown as viewed from 59 heading north from the beltway. Not on the on-ramp but on the actual freeway.

     

    It also looks good from the westpark tollroad eastbound when returning from Chinatown. A similar perspective to 59, but elevated in a few more places, which allows for better ogling. And that little tunnel is kinda cool.

     

    If you take the 59 downtown exit from westparkl toll eastbound, there is a big ramp with really nice view:

    I can barely work a camera, but Houston looks good nonetheless.
