If you guys haven't checked out the flickr account of "samsebeskazal" who took the photos in post #35954, I would highly recommend looking at all of his photos in full screen. Probably the best NYC aerial shots I've ever seen. Captures what fall looks like from the air in this great city with such precision and finesse. Not to mention this is probably the best Bronx/Harlem aerial I've ever seen.

But in terms of his photography, 1 WTC never looked better.

After looking at these photos, it is clear why this is the Capital of Earth.

Wow! What is going on?!? What happened? Is everything okay? I was worried about the entire building. Do they have any damaged?

They have be careful what they are doing. They have to make sure the rope is tight. Don't make anymore mistake again. Go easy on those guys.

As I've come to learn from reading this thread for years it will have an automatic washing machine. But it just hasn't been finished yet.

Thumbs up WTC One on TV

On the show "Mysteries of Laura" set and shot in NYC, WTC One is in a ton of stock footage and establishing shots of downtown at vastly different points in its construction. From shot to shot it's jarring - completed, half completed, not there, etc. I told my TV producer friend about it and he picked up the phone and called the post production people on the show right in front of me (I knew he would know them). The post producer agreed that I had spotting something that should NOT be seen in the stock footage and establishing shots. She said she's taking out all the shots of WTC One that do not show it completed for every new episode.

Tada!

The fashion in which New York City has bounced back from 9/11, the Recession, and Hurricane Sandy...is nothing short of spectacular. Almost like a legendary empire from a colorful adventure story. Atlantis, Rome, New York..

Can you tell I'm impressed?

I'll say that the base looks stunning when it's lit up in blue.
and can someone tell me how to make this image smaller?

Well, these are not my photos (I usually post a lot more when they are my own). And I already know about the copied posts over on SSC. But it just shows the guy knows quality posts...

And this is what I was hoping to see...(still needs some animation, the space is too big)

Yesterday was International Mens Day, which is why the spire and base was blue.

The ESB as well, or teal, as they were calling it. But the fact that the colors will be changing is most welcome, that earlier lighting was too plain. Animation is still needed, and the spire as well. Durst first stated the spire would light up similar to the Conde Nast and Bofa, but has since backed off that statement. We'll see what they do.
