HtownWxBoy Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 It is super spiffy. This building and Mainplace look like they'll make quite an impact. The definitely pop the eye compared to some more recent construction like 1000 Main and 5 Houston. I agree... although I do love 1000 Main... one of my favorite Downtown buildings.

CHiPs Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 On the Garagedoes anybody know if the "vines" on the garage are just an embellishment for this rendering..or is are they really going to plant them on it. It would look really cool, and go with the whole "green" thing going on.From the picture that capture the garage i don't really see the space for this, so does anybody have any more garage pictures and or know if this is gonna happen.and the glass is awesome on Disco/Hess Tower!Nice. But I don't think DG has that many trees as the photo paints it. Maybe that's what it will be in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb320 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 From the angle of where I sit, it appears that Discovery Tower/Hess has surpassed 5 Houston Center in height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog08 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks for the updates. Can't wait for those wind generators to be added. That would be awesome if someone could a shot of the installing them or lifting them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnme Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Do you work nearby? You are really consistent with photo updates. Thank you. I am actually the photographer on most of the recent pictures including these that were posted from upupup, and other Houston buildings. I visit downtown twice a month or more because my kids love the Discovery Green park. I take pictures of the high rise construction in the downtown area for the skyscraper page forums. You will see my updates there before you see them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelmurc Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Some iPhone photos from my bike ride today. Since you used your iphone I just found a really good App that lets you stitch together several photo's in your iphone and create panorama photo's will usually require some cropping though. It's called Autostitch. I'd post a link but I'm new here and not sure if its allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Not to get too off topic but I did take some panoramas with my iPhone yesterday using a piece of software called Pano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Not to get too off topic but I did take some panoramas with my iPhone yesterday using a piece of software called Pano.
