Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 9). Since my post last Friday, movement at the top, the blue scaffolds up a level as work gets up to level 65 or 66. The crane has been raised another segment, the new brace at level 60 in place, and two lower braces now removed. The corner scaffolds remain at the foot of the third mechanical level, and the black Rail Climbing Systems remain where they were last week installing the skin at level 37, 36 and 36 for the east, north and west ones, respectively.

After my Flickr "time-lapse" album addition, views from the south, on Dundonald east of Yonge, then from Yonge Street around there. More shots of the crane and attachment points, then the view from in front of Holt Renfrew including a view of work at the first mechanical level, from Bloor west of Yonge. Shots from Cumberland, east of Bay, next the view from Bloor at Bedford, where 1 Bloor W almost now obscures 1 Bloor E, and finally from down Devonshire.

That last one's a great compression shot. But man, the Gardiner's understructure sure looks tawdry and haphazard.

Still mostly hidden at Woodbine Ave., save for the Northern edge of the RCS.
