...not sure much is getting done up top in the Season of holidays and adverse weather. >.<
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 9). Another week where there is no visible progress compared to the week before, though one of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin has been removed. The RCS of the south face is now gone. (I don't think it climbed like the others, so, strictly speaking, it wasn't an RCS.) As yet, don't see any installed skin on the last section of floors near the top.

Lots of interesting light today, always seeing a new look for the tower depending on what the sky is doing, so a few shots of that!

Mexico is already building a 484 m skyscraper in Monterrey, I think it’s just under halfway up now.

Sorry to digress, but as there was some interest in Torre Rise, here's a couple of pics I took of the 'rising' tower today (I'm in Monterrey). When completed, it's going to be the tallest tower in Latin America, 2nd tallest in North America (presumably after 1WTC) and 13th tallest in the world. Height is 484m per Wikipedia, 475m per info board at the viewing point where I took these pics. The tower is about 55 floors now, final height is 94
