Taking a second look at this now… is it me or do the bollards here looks taller than usual? Almost seem shoulder height. Do we think scaling might be off?

A load was left hanging from the crane today.
Got a lot pics from my actual camera, will be very busy in the next few days so unsure of when I will be able to upload them. But they did start to reconstruct the 48th st sidewalk on 280 Park Ave, the curb has already been built. The actual sidewalk just needs to be poured. The best things to see in construction are things starting to finish up/clean up. Not that this tower is near completion, but more so that the area around it is now being rebuilt and cleanup.

And the tower is halfway up the fourth tier, which according to my model with accurate terrace heights, we should be close to 1,170 feet. Over 200 feet to go!

That’s probably the view (from Secaucus) that has changed the most in the past decade. It used to be that the bottom 40% of the skyline was blocked by the hill. The newer, taller buildings have changed all that.

Quite a captivating photo. A fragile looking spire in the foreground with the Cross on top, juxtaposed with the rise of a mighty mega tower in the background.
An apt name would be: “the triumph of greed over CREED”.
The ‘film noir’ feel of that photo elicits romantic, and melancholy response.
