Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 20). Low cloud cover until I almost got home... that's the last shot. So couldn't see the top most of the time, but seems no movement since last Friday.

Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 13). Since I posted a week ago, the west Rail Climbing System installing the tower's skin has moved up, to around level 78, closer to clearing the last mechanical level, while the north and east ones remain at level 80, which seems to be as high as they can go...

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Feb. 6). A dull overcast day with flurries - so a lot of murky shots here. But enough visibility to see some progress since I posted a week ago despite the deep-freeze weather. The north Rail Climbing System (RCS) installing the skin of the tower has moved up to...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 30). Only a few photos from me this week as there is virtually no change since I posted last week. With the final few floors now getting the glass and cladding installed, some new skin visible on level 80 under the east Rail Climbing System, hence the closer...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 23). Very cold out there today, -13 or so, in the -20s with the wind. Since I posted last Friday, the east Rail Climbing System (RCS), installing the building's skin, is up a level to floor 80.... and one wonders if that's as high as the RCSs can go? The bottom...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 16th). Lots of visible progress on the tower since my post from last Friday. There is now some of the skin installed on level 79, the bottom floor of the last section before the top, and all 3 of the remaining Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin have...

A couple taken today, Thursday (Jan. 15), showing more of the 7th floor windows installed.

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 9). Another week where there is no visible progress compared to the week before, though one of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin has been removed. The RCS of the south face is now gone. (I don't think it climbed like the others, so, strictly...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 2). Seems work on the tower has largely taken a holiday break as no progress is visible since I posted last week.

Photos taken today, Boxing Day (Dec. 26). Certainly not the day to go out and take photos... But some interesting shots nevertheless. Nothing new on the tower since I posted a week ago, everything looks status quo. Though I might have missed something through the blizzard...

Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 19). A chilly and very windy day... At the top, the mass dampener is somewhat visible from one of my shots from the west, the last one here. (That's what the dark shape is, isn't it?) Further down, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the building's skin...

Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 12). Some visible progress compared to my post from last Friday - but not a lot. Several of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin have moved up a level - the east one now up to around level 78 - well, higher up on 77, as it's at the mechanical...

A couple more from this past Friday.

Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 5), heard that Frank Gehry had died as I returned home after taking these. (Had posted some Forma shots earlier today before I heard the news.) It's too bad he won't be around to see his glorious towers when completed. As for glorious towers... here we go with 1...

A few more for y'all.... all taken yesterday, Thursday.
