From this morning. Can barely see it now. And they seem to be quickly filling in the missing cladding.

And that is our first nearly sans-crane picture of the L-Tower.

Link back to the page that shows the crane going up in Oct. of 2010. Thats a long time.

My apologies for inundating the readers with so many repetitive shots on a daily basis from the same vantage point. I'm just accommodating sMT's request so that he can in time put together an animated Gif of the descending crane tower. I think it should be completely down by Monday or Tuesday.

These photos were taken Friday morning, May 13, 2016:

The updates are great for people that don't live in Toronto. Thanks for them!

 

[Benito]

No, I thank you for posting the photos Razz. I like seeing this crane finally come down. Please keep posting more photos.

Not sure if people are interested but here is a view from the building looking eastward from my buddy's apartment. The crane that was blocking his view is now basically gone

Thanks Dusk! Lovely evening light in those shots, and it seems as if Downtown's shadows are being cast as far as Regent Park at that point!
