Austin city skyline features modern towers and historic brick building alongside river.
An elevated view of the Austin city skyline. The West Austin Residence tower is in the forefront on the left of the image. The side facing the viewer is angled slightly to the background. A vertical stripe of glass windows makes up the left corner of the tower. To the right of this stripe, each floor has a balcony and alcove. The balcony overlaps the window stripe on its left. To the right of the balconies is a thin horizontal stripe of windows for each floor. The siding is smooth gray above and below each window stripe. The right corner facing the river is a vertical stripe of floor to ceiling glass. This glass is reflecting the other buildings on the bottom and the stormy cloudy sky color at the top. Farther back and to the right is the JW Marriott building. It has curved sides. A side of the building directly faces the viewer. This side is divided by a vertical stripe of balconies per floor. Larger curved balconies are on each side of this stripe. The floors have light colored framing between them. The shape of the top of the building resembles a flattened pencil eraser. The entire building is covered with reflective glass. To the right of the Marriott is the Austonian residential tower. It appears smaller and shorter. The narrow side of the building faces the viewer. The brick has a pink hue. There is a vertical stripe of brick in the center of the side. It has two vertical columns of small white square framed windows. There are curved balconies on each side's corners. The river and First Street Bridge are on the right. The river curves to the right in the background with more city buildings on its left shore.
