And THANK YOU for doing so.  Houston has one of the most beautiful and unique skylines in the United States.  I never tire of looking at pictures of her skylines!

Houston is a cool city. I enjoy taking frequent trips as it is similar to New Orleans in terms of culture, food, music.

You'd think there would be so many people adding to this thread. Having not been there in a few years myself, and having zero of my own pics from there, I must say I have nothing personal to add to the collection, but what you and others have posted have been amazing.

I especially like the photo showing the freeway stack in the foreground with the skyline in the background, the photo with the neighborhood made up of homes and canals (WOW!!!) and the airplane photo! Those are all awesome!!

Here is the Texas Medical Center skyline from flickr.


More information on the photo.

Sunrise over the TMC


More info.

And finally Greenway Plaza in southwest Houston


more info.

That should do for today. This thread appears to have become the "Greens posting pictures of Houston thread." I will have more of my own to add when I go back home next week and can explore the city again.

Hey SBC. Thanks for the nice conributions.  I had never seen that nightime pic before. I agree, where is Green's help ? Houston's the right place to take pics of some serious urban scenery.

Keep em' rollin' Greens.  Houston is one colossal place. Looking for something other than "huge".  I like all the multiple skylines in H-Town.
I never knew there was a small skyline near the Airport at I-45 & Beltway.
It's hard to imagine before the Great Hurricane in 1901 ? That Galveston was the south's version of Manhattan. I could only imagine what Galveston would look like today with all of Houston's skyscrapers !
