SAN FRANCISCO | One Rincon (Tower One) | 641 FT / 195 M | 60 FLOORS - Page 5

Hopefully I'll be able to see the tower much better in December when I return to SF. And hopefully we have a massive backup on the bridge approach (which is not uncommon anyways) so I can stare at it for hours and hours.

Apparently the webcam is down. The image that it shows is still a nightshot of the site and obviously at the time of this post it is daytime.

Reminiscence · #83 Posted **Oct 20, 2006, 12:02 AM**

The webcam (when its actually running well) I'm sure is a good way to view it, but still, it does not substitute for the first person point of view.

^^^And being able to take pictures of it.

And being able to take pictures of it.

Right you are

The webcam is back up, literally.

They adjusted the cam, moving it up with the tower.

Cool, looks like this one is moving along nicely.

Ahh I see, that explains the techinical difficulties.

Thanks

Yay, the top of the crane has been out of the image for a while, but now we can see it again.

I think that position will last another 15 or so more stories of growth, unless they change the zoom, reposition the camera, or the mount. I think I would otherwise miss seeing the bottom of the tower as the tower and camera moves and pans upward. It isn't a great quality image, but it's much better than nothing.

Hmmm, I wonder how that glass is coming along. Must look pretty nice to those lucky commuters

AK47KC · #92 Posted **Oct 20, 2006, 4:27 PM**

Let's hope they put some glass on the side facing the webcam before they move the cam up again and put the lower levels out of sight.

Reminiscence · #93 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 1:31 AM**

Wow, the tower has grown considerably since the last time I saw it. Its too bad I cant find any detailed progress of how the tower is rising, like they do for 300 Spear.

AK47KC · #94 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 2:29 AM**

I guess the tower will get to level 20-30 before the end of this year.

Reminiscence · #95 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 4:26 AM**

Level 20-30, wow .... and thats only halfway too.

AK47KC · #96 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 4:40 AM**

The south tower is at level 13 right now (from the webcam) and the elevator core is around level 16-17, but I will have to go there for a better count.

Reminiscence · #97 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 4:53 AM**

If its not too much to ask, and only if its no trouble for you ... you should take some more of your award winning pictures as well

AK47KC · #98 Posted **Oct 22, 2006, 1:51 AM**

Umm... it depends if I decide to come back to the Bay Area from UC Davis on the weekends, otherwise, I will be studying for most of my time.

LWR · #99 Posted **Oct 22, 2006, 2:28 AM**

Study hard first, but...

COME BACK, COME BACK.

If I can get some time away from work/school (I work in retail, holidays make me money!), and beat snow over Donner - I will take my Canon 30D for a little skyscraper trip soon I hope.
