Nice. I actually wish they would leave the yellow arches on the 2nd Street Bridge. I can't remember if they're supposed to be painted or if that's permanent or not.

It seems to me (not having experience in this field) that painting it before installing it would be easiest. I'm guessing that yellow is the final color. It's definitely grown on me.

You'll need a photo editing program. There are some for free now that you can find and download. The other option is that some image hosting sites offer you links for different sizes for your images.

I really think that the Pfluger bridge is going to be the best place to view the 3 main downtown highrise clusters. I can't wait to see the Independent rise between Seaholm and 360 from that angle. And I really think that Seaholm is a pretty cool looking tower. Everything is starting to come together nicely.

So I had a "What the heck?!" moment looking at that photo. The light on the left side of the bridge totally looked like an observation/restaurant tower for a second...a la Space Needle, Tower of Americas, etc. I was very confused...and then realized I'm just dumb.

I suppose you could perch on top of it and eat a sandwich, then you would be right and not feel dumb. Of couse public perception might validate your claim if they saw you do that.

On the way to Port A, swung by dt for a looksee, took a few pics, I don't think we've seen this angle in a while.

422 is exceeding my expectations. No stucco here when I thought there would be.



Fairmont is becoming impressive from the north.



An even cooler pic of the 'Google' tower.
