"Looking down from atop the north tower."
"From atop the south tower and its shadow early on one evening."
"Yours truly."
"View from the point of view I placed myself in that of the previous photo."
"Views looking down into the gulch from two different times in the bosuns chair."
"With the floor beam 'B' sections only hand tightened my responsibility was to final tighten them. The best method ended up being just sitting on the narrow (7 inches worth) of stringers and using my feet as such. Safely secured to my personal line, I never got close to, or even felt like I was going to fall during the tightening of all 296 nut/bolt combos."
"From within the top portal of the south tower looking across the span."
"Various shadow shots. Some obvious, others a bit more obscured."
"A pair of looking straight down shots from first atop the south tower, followed by at mid-span."
