Description
Several iconic buildings have long lent a distinctive look to the beautiful skyline of Houston, Texas. Shown here: Bank of America Plaza, which now includes the former Pennzoil Building, in black, and the former First Interstate Bank Building with its unique pointed setbacks. Also seen here is the tall aqua Wells Fargo Bank Building, all set against a perfect backdrop of white cumulo-nimbus clouds and blue sky.
Photographed in 2008 from I-45, west of downtown. In this album you will find a similar image that includes the Ferris wheel, plus a number of other views of the beautiful Houston skyline.

Captured within a moving vehicle, going about 60 mph as a friend drove. I just rolled the window down and fired away. Fortunately it was a beautiful day and no one got hurt. But it might explain why one seldom (if ever) sees this particular view of beautiful downtown Houston.

Connie Fox replied:
Thank you, Lenore. It's an awesome city too! The prettiest skyline in America I hear, though I'm sure I'll hear from someone who'll say that about their own city! ;-) A nice blend of old and new in Houston, though not much pre-dates 1900.
