Those are some very nice shots - up there with Nick's. I don't quite get the hostility towards professionals who opt to share their work on this forum.

I would love to see Golden Dusk do another Chicago set in January - diversify their decidedly balmy portfolio.

Humor is lost online much like tears in the rain!

So please don't take us seriously Golden Dusk...

It definitely appears to be lost on me. I'm trying to read the original comment's sarcasm and its evading me

Anyway, people definitely need to feel welcome to post here.

I don't mean to be rude, i'm usually civil on this forum.

When I see a post from either of you two, I feel connected to the city, intrigued, informed. Frequent users such as yourselves are why I have been checking this forum daily ever since I found out about it.

When I see a fat watermark from an account that has never posted in this thread before, I feel like I'm being advertised to. Maybe it's because I grew up in the internet age but I have no patience for that.

Goldendusk is welcome to post here, but I'm welcome to defend a thread I love from self promo.

I suppose I can see what you're saying, especially with that added context. I just remember when I was first posting some crappy iPhone pictures here and was nervous people were going to make fun of my shots of WPE lol

Anyway... back on track with some pictures:

I'm not holding my breath on that one lol

Cozy thats superb! That would be amazing if we get that lighting scheme

[BonoboZill4]

Haha, yeeeepppp... that's exactly how I imagined it would look (even better tbh, bravo cozy)... Now I'm sad we'll never see it like this

[cozy]

So glad you guys like it.

Yeah as I was making it I realized how badly I want it to become reality. Oh well, better for the environment

[bhawk66]

What a gem. Looking better by the day.

Are you guys really not expecting any lighting on this one? Would seem weird for such a prominent tower, but then again Chicago developers don't seem to put much (if any) stock into lighting their towers. This one is from a Chinese developer though, so who knows.

Wanda left this project a while ago.

Nice update!

From where we were a few months ago it's incredible how much ground that glass crew made up. Phenomenal job.

Those are warblers. There's a zillion subspecies of them, they all migrate South around this time of year after mating in Northern States and Canada.
