Yes, and this should be the angle that skyline photos are taken from, but they're still usually taken from Southwest of Reunion tower making the skyline look unchanged since the 80s.

The elevated area on the hill in the middle of the I-30/Hampton Road cloverleaf also has incredible panoramic views.

Was just thinking that. That’s my favorite. The skyline is massive from that vantage point

Sylvan Ave. bridge is the best spot for skyline views. You've got the full breadth of the skyline, the trinity river, both signature bridges, and the massive greenscape of the floodplain. It's beautiful.

I always dream of someday getting a pedestrian bridge running parallel to Sylvan here, something designed to really put the skyline as if on a stage for viewing, something that's inviting to just sit and look out from.

Big fan of this one anytime I drive by. It's a shame how inaccessible it is.
Put a small lot, add some park benches, call it a park. Such a waste of a good spot to cover it in no trespassing signs.

One of my favorite spots to view the skyline!
