Nashville sunset (not so good picture)

[TNinVB]

I know you can't tell in this picture, but is the top of the TN Tower being lit now? On one of the news cams I could have swore I saw some lighting at the top.

Thought I'd post this photo from NC5, as I don't recall seeing this. Striking photo...

took this from the @nashvilletn instagram page - 

we're so lucky to live in a city with such a beautiful downtown and skyline that is only getting better by the day

It certainly appears that way, doesn't it?

I'm curious. Are there Metro rules/regs in place to prevent collisions between the cranes? Or is collision prevention handled by the crane operators?

I am new to posting here, but have been fan of the site for a quite a while. Enjoy the below downtown pics I took recently. Bridgestone, 505, and SoBro..

As always, phenomenal job, Chris! I'd like to put the above shot on canvas for personal use, if that's not a problem.

Thanks, Markhollin! I will post some more shots and comment in the future. And if time permits, I will stop by for the monthly meeting in the future. Thanks again.

If only that view were not marred by that hideous sheathing over the garage at the 222 building. OMG!  Evidently, they're taking the cheap way on that one.

Are they placing that on all 4 sides?

I dunno, I don't think it's the worst thing ever. I much prefer it over that hideous blank-brick-wall building closer to the core. While far from ideal, this at least adds some visual variety/contrast to the mostly-glass structures around it.

I love this shot of Midtown.  I love how it looks like the development rises seamlessly from a forest.  It also makes the BMI building on the left look like the head of some kind of monster with its mouth wide open.

It's calculated by site engineering structural design really. Placement of the crane itself and length of booms is always calculated to avoid this. Go back to Viridian and remember it used a luffing boom, which is what is pretty much the only kind used in New York, due to site space constraints yet still acts as a tower crane.

I agree. It could be worse. It does have a visual impact regardless if people like it or not. It would be interesting if it had cool lighting from behind the panels and could change colors.

Some pictures of the architectural details on the Aertson (apartment side). Maybe the best new project with regard to design features.

 

 

and a bonus picture of the M-Res (aka The Morris)

Thanks clay91 and sure not a problem.
