CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWER

The thumbnails give access to large and small versions of the images, to save on download time, take a look at the medium size first and then download the large size version of any that interest you.

The large versions are very large and it is recommended that you download to your hard drive and then use whatever image viewing software you have to view. There is a massive amount of detail in many of the shots, but the originals were of mixed quality.
