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

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 28). Since I posted a week ago, the crown of the tower shows no progress, but all the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin of the building have moved up a level, though the highest visible level of actual installed skin remains at level 75. So, the...

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 21). While the crown of the building looks unchanged since my photos from last Friday, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin have all moved up as we see more and more of the finished exterior of the tower. The highest visible installed glass is now...

Not sure if this has been posted, but signage up at St George Station! POST SCRIPT - oops - didn't go back far enough, yup already up

Getting caught up here.... Some from the weekend, Nov. 15th and 16th, all from along Bloor, from around Bloor Go station to close to Dufferin. Cloudy ones Saturday, sunny dusk ones Sunday.

Well, seems to be back to normal now - seemed to be up earlier but to a max of 2m each photo, now up to regular size that I can post.... These are all from Friday (Nov. 14), so already a little dated. As compared to the previous Friday, the crown is the same, and the east and north Rail...

Having this problem as well, started Friday evening after success uploads Thursday. Thumbnails show file name but no image, and no prompt to load, and when I try the drag method from the bar at top, an error message appears any time I try to post an image.

Well this is extremely annoying. I've not been able to post any photos since Thursday - nothing will load for me. Yet others are readily posting photos. Each time I try, I just get blank thumbnails with no way to insert them into my posts. I've tried a different server, even used my work laptop...

Well for some reason, the upload here isn't allowing me to post my usual batch of photos. All I get are the thumbnail boxes, all blank, with no option to post. So if anyone wants to see my current photos, go to... https://www.flickr.com/photos/jer1961/

Here are some shots I took today (Thu. Nov. 13) of the new cladding on the King Street side - the side is now complete so these are already outdated....

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 7). Since my post from last week, more work on the crown of the tower with the central box taking shape and all the mega-column extensions connected to the box with beams. The highest visible installed skin is at the 74th floor, up one level from a week ago. The...

Photos taken today, Friday (Oct. 31). It's Halloween and there's a very excited city with game 6 of the World Series coming later tonight, with the Blue Jays in a position to win it all! Since I posted a week ago, more of the box in the centre of the crown at top has been assembled. And while...

Don't usually post outside of 1 Bloor W but here it goes - taken yesterday, Thursday (Oct. 30). More of the new cladding, now on 3 levels. I straightened the vertical perspective of the image showing the full fancy cladding (XXIMG 7190) - so the size of the windows on the top row seem a lot...

Photos taken today, Friday (Oct. 24). Since I posted last week, progress with the crown of the tower as the box-shaped core takes shape from only a few installed beams last week. Further down the tower, it seems the Rail Climbing Systems are no longer rising, as they have all been parked at...

Here's an annual time-lapse of 1 Bloor W, updated from a similar post I did a year ago. Delayed by a week or so to get the spiky crown update shots in! Three sequences! #1: The view from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, starting with view before above-ground construction started, on Feb 11...

Photos taken today, Friday (Oct. 17). Since my update post from last Saturday, lots of visible progress on the crown of the tower. All 8 of the beams extending the mega-columns have been installed to the presumed final height - 3 were in place last week. Looks like Sauron's crown! And 3 square...

Here are some shots from today, Tuesday (Oct. 14). Looks like all 8 beams extending the mega-columns for the crown are up... taken from the Wallace pedestrian bridge, and from Bloor and Dundas.

Photos taken today, Saturday (Oct. 11). Took shots yesterday, but before the new beams for the crown were placed, so I did a reshoot today. Until the beams were added, not much to update as the Rail Climbing Systems installing the skin are all parked at level 70, where they were last week...

Good thing I saw thaivic's shots showing work on the crown starting... so much for the shots I took before those beams went up! I'll go and reshoot Saturday, meanwhile here are a few shots from the west end of the new beams on the tower, taken today, Friday (Oct. 10). From Wallace bridge at...

Photos taken today, Friday (Oct. 3). Some incremental movement upward since I posted a week ago. No new activity visible at top where work on the crown will start soon, presumably, at least from the perspective of the streets and sidewalks below. The west and south Rail Climbing Systems...
