Two towering construction cranes stretch skyward above a mid-rise office building in downtown Austin, their angular silhouettes cutting through a dramatic cloudscape of billowing white cumulus against a vivid blue Texas sky. Just below the roofline, a delicate church steeple topped with a cross peers quietly above the building’s edge, a striking and almost poetic juxtaposition of the sacred and the secular, the historic and the brand new. The partially constructed floors rising between the cranes tell the story of a city that simply cannot build fast enough to keep pace with its own ambition. The massive clouds dominate nearly half the frame, lending the scene a grandeur that makes even the construction equipment feel monumental. Austin is always building; upward, outward, and onward.
