It seems that Austin area of Texas is somehow hilly. I am saying because we have flatlands here in North. Not much elevation. I grew up in a city with more than 15000 feet of elevation with one of world's tallest peaks. So I feel kind of out of place. Those hills in the background reminds me Santa Monica mountains, covered in green vegetations. Beautiful to look at specially with the river in foreground

@Amir: There are some hills in Austin. The land flattens out as you move east to the coast and gets more hilly as you move out of Austin to the west. Go far enough west, to the Fort Davis area, and you hit something close to mountains --and UT has an observatory there. The area west of San Antonio is called "Hill Country." In some areas you can even begin to get a sensation that is something like heading into the mountains --a unique feeling. I grew up in sight of the San Bernardino mountains.
Reminds me of the Raritan River in New Brunswick, NJ.

@Bob: It's been a long time since I was in New Jersey, but I've never been to New Brunswick.
