At first I was fairly sure I could see the steel lattice that is the first part of tower, but it was hard viewing it through the construction lattice.

In this photo from a month ago you can see the base of the tower on the scaffold.

Now it is not visible at all from my tenement roof. I think I can make out the round holes in the scaffold erected to assemble the tower elements. So when the tower reaches high enough I should be able to see it below the holes. I need to check more often to see if I can capture the cranes in action, transporting sections of the tower.

I think that cylindrical object on the platform (top right of the photo) is the first part of the spire.

Dramatic clouds near sunset over Downtown Manhattan.

The steel on the tower reached its final height, 1,368 feet, in August. But a 408-foot spire has yet to be installed.

I had lovely light and breathable air after the short burst of rain this evening. East Houston Street at sunset. I shot this in RAW format, and used RawTherapee to process it. So far I am liking this free and open source program much more that the program that came with my camera, noise reduction is far superior.

Double sunset rainbow after a brief, but intense, thunderstorm.
