Has anyone else noticed that the railings installed are not all the same? I've noticed that some are composed of a single horizontal at top and bottom, while others have two horizontals at the top...does anyone have an explanation?

You're right, I hadn't noticed that until I looked at this photo once again, not sure what the reason would be for the two variations.

^ My only thought would be that the top rail is added after the bottom section is installed and some of the railings aren't complete.

pilsenarch · #**3766** Posted **Aug 26, 2008, 4:42 PM**

ahh, yes, you are correct....some of the railings are shorter....

too bad, I kinda like the simplicity of the shorter version...

Stare at this shot long enough and you will feel dizzy. Saturday 8/30:

Aqua Tower itself looks like an optical illusion.

Great work, AP. Having bought a northwest-facing unit starts to look like a very smart move.

Saber925 · #**3774** Posted **Sep 1, 2008, 4:59 PM**

Nice shots AP! What floor did you shoot from?

Aqua Plumber · #**3775** Posted **Sep 1, 2008, 5:20 PM**

Sorry, probably neither. Maybe I should have written, "One having bought..."? It was a poor way of saying, "Gee, I would have not expected the power of that view if I'd been a buyer."

Great shots AP, keep 'em coming!
