A Picture Per Day - Trump Tower Construction

DateSaturday, January 3, 2009 at 3:46PM in ,


While driving with Alison to head down to the Apple Store on Michigan Ave., we were lucky enough to see this helicopter positioning the antennae for installation on top of the Trump Tower.


It wasn't a windy day really, so I guess they probably had an easy time of it, but a part of me was feeling queezy. At any second it could all come toppling down! That is what led me to crop the photo this way. Such extreme angles lend a sense of unbalance to the image. Let me know what you think. How could this image be improved?

I like the image. We saw this too but were running up 94 heading towards the United Center and didn't have time to stop. I saw them put the spire on the NBC Tower back in the day. Pretty cool yet nerve wracking I would have to imagine.
