Time-Lapse Archive Narrowed

Thanks to Mark for some dramatic alternate views of the store that show more than our 24-hour Webcam, including a front view, and a dramatic overhead photo in the shadow of the Prudential Building, showing how the store fits into the neighborhood, and the location of reseller Tech Superpowers behind the future store. By the way, I've done some housekeeping on the daily time-lapse videos. Videos now available for viewing are now only June through the current day (using the standard link http://ifostore.cachefly.net/boston/xxxyy.mov, where x=month in three letters and y=date in one or two digits). Also available is day one, day two, Feb. 26-28, and the recent Week of Steel showing the steel going up.

Up, Up and Away

The future Apple store is going up, up, up! In fact, it practically took off over a two-week period, right out of camera range. So we've re-adjusted the camera upward a bit to provide a better overall view of the construction, which is still continuing at a fast pace. What you now see at the very bottom of the frame is the sidewalk-level floor (ground floor?). You're looking slightly down at the second level, and you're looking directly across at the third-level floor beams. I have no idea why the upper floor steel is silver-colored and the lower floors a dark red. We can some concrete pouring for the floors, electrical and plumbing work, and eventually the walls of the building will go up. At that point, we'll have to switch to the live satellite view! I've extended the "house raising" time-lapse through Sept. 4th, but will return to daily videos on Wednesday the 5th.
