It's the way the light is hitting them. They're the same material as the spanderals.

The time is now. Why would they wait ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the fins turned out to be extremely simplified, having the only virtue of existing.

Does anyone know what is going on the roof of the Reid-Murdoch Center? Looks like they are installing some kind of panels.

BTW, nice picture SolarWind!

Good question - looks like they are preparing to pour a floor - quite extensive and heavy.

Wow I love that last shot HarryC

These are from this morning

I am not sure what the finish of the fins are, but I have never seen white paint shine like this...

OK I know that the Ried Murdoch building roof is off topic - But - It looks like they are going to put in a green roof.

Yes, I mentioned once before that it is the most elegant part of the development IMO.

Hiya friends and skyscraperfans,

its been 3 month since i did my last update video for 300 NL so it was very much time for a new video. I speeded up the construction like on Aqua this time using SolarWinds overview pics. Thanx Solar and enjoy the vid:
