Someone posted photos of the LED strips being installed many months ago. So I am surprised that we haven't heard anything about them since.

Well quoting all the pictures sure isn't helping

And I'm not paying for a pro account so you'll have to wait til the beginning of April to view the pics when my bandwidth limit is reset.

I second that. I've been using them since I began posting photos on this forum and I've never run into any issues with monthly bandwidth limits. I finally bothered to set up a free account with them too and now my uploaded photos can be organized by albums I create or the date they were uploaded.

None the less, I'll look forward to April when I can see your photos, especially the ones of the Port Mann Bridge that you posted just before the bandwidth cap was reached.

vanman · #**387** Posted **Mar 21, 2011, 11:52 PM**

Really? No bandwidth issues with imageshack? I'll take your word for it seeing as how often you post massive amounts of pics. Well next time I have a whole slough of photos to post I'll use it instead.

Hi SSP

The LED fixtures were put up and tested. They have been taken down again for some modifications. The mounting channels are still mounted on both cores. Stay tuned.....

nice pics! i quite like this building, despite it being slightly taller than a loaf of bread. ten more floors wouldve made it extra nice. (a common statement on here) tho it is nicely proportioned. perhaps if it were fatter, AND ten floors taller. yes.

BTW the tall tower behind the "loaf of bread" is also part of this development.

...the "tall" one IS the one i was talking about.

Can't wait for this one to finish up!

SpikePhanta · #**395** Posted **Mar 29, 2011, 1:41 AM**

Welcome to the forum Lukasik!

Def a cool tower!

a loaf of bread is less than 10 inches tall. If you say the tower is already well-proportioned, why would you want to make it fatter just to make it taller while retaining the same proportions? It just goes further and further away from human scale...

Best shot I've seen of these buildings thus far!

SFUVancouver · #**398** Posted **Mar 29, 2011, 4:32 AM**

Compare that photo to one of the original renderings:

vanman · #**399** Posted **Mar 29, 2011, 4:35 AM**

^ For once the building turned out better than the rendering.

OMG thanks for clearing that one up! i honestly thought a loaf of bread was taller than a high rise tower.

the building looks good. if it were bigger, it would retain its proportions...but be bigger. which is better. unless you like the nice 30 floor table top weve got goin in this town. ? .
