Many of the recent photos of this building have had more overcast skies, but the reflection of the brilliant blues in the expanding upward diagonals in these photos ^

gives the feeling of airy lift-i-ness (?!). It seems like it is expansively becoming the sky. It also makes me think of the signature of John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence

- all of the other signatures around it become a background setting as it becomes a dramatic (and yet graceful) flourish.

I think its core topped now. They brought up a bunch of forms and are making circular columns which i think is part of the crown.

what a gorgeous shot, can't wait to see 1000M finished fingers crossed the crown provides and elegant cap to what turned out to be a slick, sexy tower.

If it ain't topped out now, it's gotta be pretty freaking close.

The glimpse of the Manhattan Building adds a wonderful assessment of how far the admiration for skyscrapers has come.

When the Manhattan was built, 16 stories high was pretty scary to many people. It is believed that the Manhattan was divided into a number of horizontal bands

partially to make it less scary.

Now we have 1000 M emphasizing its appearance of soaring.

1891 to 2023.

132 years apart.

Milding interesting, but on my deck I found a piece of paper labeled "Floor 71" and it had a mechanical contractor's logo on it. It had to be from 1000M meaning it flew half a mile as the crow flies! My wife didn't think it was as interesting as I did...

If that happened to me I would lose my mind. Also that means this thing is topped out or almost topped out.

Tower crane got pegged by lighting today. THAT was loud. Seems fine though, back to work.

Doesn't seem like a great day to be a tower crane...

Amazing shot. Maybe the crane that caught fire yesterday in NYC also got hit by lightning
