I've posted a few similar shots back in May, and then some tower climb shots just recently. Both seemed to have plenty of interest so I figured I'd post some more. I was on site as H&S escort for a videographer and another photographer (who was using Nikon and film!) so I of course had my camera with me.

Here are a couple of the arty ones I did. I'm really happy with the b/w conversion.

And a few of the construction. The crane was great to watch. $4.5 Million gets you a lot of lifting capabilities. That crane costs more than one of the towers.

And one last one. I was trying to emphasize the sense of scale here, instead I think I just overdid it with the polarizer. Some people like it though.

Not sure, I'll look at some of the other photos and see if I can see a name on it. Pretty cool crane!
