Downtown Houston Skyline - Texas, USA

This camera looks across downtown Houston from an elevated position to the west, with Buffalo Bayou Park's tree canopy filling the foreground and the full city skyline rising behind it. Live temperature and weather data are displayed in the top corner, and the feed shows Houston's famously dramatic summer storm clouds building over the city throughout the afternoon.

Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States and the energy capital of the world, home to more Fortune 500 company headquarters than any other American city except New York. The downtown cluster of towers visible here includes some of the tallest buildings in Texas.

Buffalo Bayou Park below the camera is a 160-acre linear park running through the heart of the city, one of the more ambitious urban green space projects in the American South.

Did You Know? Houston has no zoning laws, making it the largest city in the United States with no formal land use regulations. Residents can legally build almost anything next to anything else, which accounts for the city's unusually mixed and unpredictable urban landscape.
