Every Pic at the start of this thread (with the exception of 1, and that 1 is only of the base) is of the Spire design prior to September 27th 2007.
It's GREAT to show the evolution of the design, but if this is the case you would need to include a full Pic of the finished design, which this thread is lacking.
P.S. Just want new-comers here to see the full beauty of Calatravas baby, and what exactly is being built
EDIT:Here ya go...Full Pic of the final design released Sept 27th 2007 (Possibly add a gold tip on it, not clearified)...
