This weekend, I was with a friend who had not been to Austin in the last 3 years. He wanted to go up to Mt. Bonnell to shoot some pictures of an ever changing Austin. If you have never ventured up the 100 steps to take in the view, it is well worth it. The sky was clear, and as the sun set, Austin's famous "violet crown" appeared along the western horizon. Those of us who live here notice the skyline change slowly over time, but my friend was amazed at how Downtown Austin had changed in a short time. The 50+ stories of the Austonian along with other downtown condos Spring, 360, Four Seasons, W now dot and almost dominate the skyline as viewed from Mt. Bonnell. You can see the UT Tower and State Capitol too, although they don't have the same presence since the latest boom sent buildings almost 700 feet into the sky.
Looking west, south and north, the views of Lake Austin, the 360 Pennybacker Bridge and the green hills dotted with luxury homes give a true sense of life on the edge of the Texas hill country. Austin sits in a very attractive natural setting and it is no wonder folks from all over continue to relocate to Austin. If you haven't been to Mt. Bonnell lately, make a point to stroll up the steps and take in the beauty of the Capital City from it's 780' elevation.
