Austin, Texas city skyline features W Austin building on its side.
Outdoor long-shot view of buildings that make up the Austin, Texas, city skyline. The sky is overcast and dark gray, the clouds are not one even layer. There are two plumes that sit low in the sky and are a mile or two above the buildings. To the right of the image, the W Austin stands on its side. To the left, four other buildings fade into the background. The W Austin is facing on its side, which is highly reflective. Under the gray sky, the windows of the 19 visible levels reflect the sky and the Austonian building across the way. The windows make reflections ripple and distort. On the left side of the building, the series of windows is interrupted by clear glass balconies. The 19 balconies have barriers with clear glass at waist height, while the flooring for each balcony is a long, thin rectangular shape. As the balconies ascend, the underside of the balcony platform is visible and dark. The midsection of the building's siding has a strip of dark matte gray running around the perimeter of the roof and running down the middle of the building. Each level of the gray strip has a horizontal line with smaller square reflective windows compared to the vertical windows that run to the right and left of the strip.
