Austin Skyline 1900-2018 Time Lapse from South Congress

The two photos in this video were shot from the same spot, roughly 110 to 120 years apart. The older shot was taken sometime between 1900 and 1909 (exact date unknown), according to the University of North Texas Libraries. The photographer is also not known. The more recent photo was taken by myself, Christopher V. Sherman, on September 22, 2018 with a drone.

As with the Congress and 6th Street photo time lapse I shared yesterday, it was pure chance that both shots in this video were taken at the same location at roughly the same altitude. Even the trees covering South Congress seem to be similarly positioned.
