Awesome pics. I don't think I would be able to stand that close to the edge, LOL.

I would never do that either.

A little straightening would help, but other than that, good shots! I can't wait until the Comcast building is completed.

Question for the "builders" out there, or people who understand it better then I do...

Do these tall cranes you see move "up with the building" or are they built as high as the building is going in the first place? and then, HOW do they keep from tipping over? I understand physicas and all that, but these things must have some kind of mongo sized foundation....

Thanks for the critique. I didn't even notice they are crooked until you guys mentioned it.
