They'll move this one as well (to buildings & architecture) soon. But I still have one final contribution to make before its goodbye to p&c....

Oddly enough, the tower actually seems to look better in the fog...

Awesome tower, awesome shots! Great job guys!

Come to think of it, I like the fog effect the NY Times Tower exhibits in nyguy's photos!

Really great photography comes from those with passion in their hearts for skyscrapers.

sorry i havent been able to read all 2000 of the posts in the former thread, but is the function of the "screens" on the facade to block sunlight for workers inside? i think the uncovered parts of this building look pretty badass.

Hey, I took a picture of this thing while driving when i was coming out of the tunnel on Nov-2. Maybe I can post tonight.

OMG, WOW Is the spire going to be lit up?

Awesome shots!!! Just a quick ots question (may have already been covered). Does it usually take so long to finish this portion of the construction (adding spire)? Or was the building just now topped?

Well, as mentioned above, here is the shot I snapped off when coming out of the tunnel the other day:

Looking good, I know I ask asked this before but are they going to leave those rods exposed like that? no glass walls or anything. thank you.

Great shot there GR2NY!

Snap another one on your next trip to include the newly added spire, okay?

NYC32, the glass walls are behind the steel rods.

Here's a repost of one of my photos:
