Drove past the NMC today and saw the tile going on the bridge portion. Looked really good with the darker grey. Very reflective and warm.

A few more pics of the NMC from today....this one just keeps getting better.

It was the first time seeing the gold tiles in person, and I have to say, they look awesome. Pics don't do the the tiles justice. Another thing that was super cool, was that the tiles on the north side looked amazing in the shade.

Great shots - I was wondering when they'd start the tiles on the north side .. I'm really loving how this one is coming together. It's going to look awesome.

The last shot really shows how amazing the tiles are. You can see the reflection of the boom crane in the tile on the left hand side.

That is cool.....I wonder what kind of lighting they are going to use on the building. That could have an awesome effect on the tiles at night.

Looks like they're getting ready to tile the rest of the +60 ... Interested to see how the spaced tiles look
