This one is a little older, but I like the overall view.

First of all, did you know that Mount Mitchell in Atlantic Highlands, at 266 feet, is the highest natural elevation in the U.S. on the east coast?!!

From up there you overlook the Raritan Bay Sandy Hook and can see the NYC skyline, One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, Jersey City, Brooklyn, Long Island, the Verrazano Bridge, Coney Island, JFK Airport, and more. And that's without binoculars! (Although they do have those big zoom lens contraptions available if you want to see even more detail.)

This photo was taken with my phone camera.

If you're wondering what other very tall (and 'skinny') buildings are going up in NYC, they will be the second and third tallest buildings in the city upon completion: They are the Central Park Tower (1,550 feet tall) and the 111 W. 57th St. buildings (1,428 feet tall.) But One World Trade Center remains the tallest at 1,776 feet. (In this photo is is the one farthest to the left.)

What is the technical term for the angled outcropping at the tower's southeast profile (I'm thinking chamfer; but somehow that doesn't seem correct) ?

Whatever it is, I love how it captures sunlight throughout the entire height of it.

Yea that shinny line structure going up would’ve looked really nice if it where to end in a spire maybe, even though the thin boxy shape is growing on me.

Took the words right out of my mouth (and I'm sure many others on here)!

Am I nuts or is there a portion of the southwest profile lacking in the vertical spandrels(terminology?)?

My thoughts exactly! It's like a natural LED strip during the day, which will go great with the LED bands all along it that will glow at night!

This, 111, and 1 Vand are gonna look SO amazing each night!

^ i'm sure this has been answered in this thread before, but what's up with the seemingly random different shades of glazing on this tower?

is it just a protective film that hasn't been removed everywhere yet?

Its just protective film. The glass near the upper portion of the tower is how it will look. The darker hues of blues are just the protective film. It'll all be removed eventually.
