Any lighting that distracts from City Centre's blinding, boring, dual-colour lighting would be great.

Am actually surprised to see a crane still up on this. Was thinking they were going to switch to a stiff legged crane for the last remaining lifts.

can't wait for it to be finished!

(mainly because the super bright lights shine at my face at night in my bedroom)

On the west side? With a combination of the views from my building and the webcam, I don't see glass on the north, south or east sides of the crown.

Was cruising the Walters Steel Site and noticed they have some pictures and a video from them putting up the last steel beam along with some crown detail pictures, take a look!

Didn't know the crown was going to be different glass. Considering the scale of the building, I'm pleased with the prospects of a change-up at the top.

Is there any plan of having the ability to change the colour of the crown lighting? While I wouldn't want it over-the-top strobe effects or anything of the sort, the ability the change the colour in honour of specific days of the year or notable events would be positive I think.
