Great Trump shots here. Wonderful to see the top taking shape.
This may sound silly if I'm incorrect, but from what I understand, the dome is the penthouse's master bedroom. Doesn't that mean that it will only be lit when the residents there have their bedroom lights on?
The dome is right above the master bedroom, so no.
I'll bet the purchasers never thought of having a master bedroom underneath a tall spire during an electrical storm! They'll have more than a few sleepless nights.
Taken yesterday...the first day that Toronto was colder than the UK since I arrived here nearly 6 weeks ago...I suspect it won't be the last!
LOL!. and blinded at the same time!
Here's great a photo by large at SSC:

I know everyone's jacked about the spire (pun intended) but back down closer to earth they've finally installed another of the corner lighting panels. Those had stalled out awhile around the first level where offices are located, but they winched up and put in another one around noon today. As far as I can tell, though, it was just the one panel installed (possibly two), and the scaffolding has now been lowered again.
They're back as of right now. No panel yet, but two guys right across from my window smoking and doing prep work.
Wow. Just called the sales center for more info on completion and financing. Very professional service. I am impressed. Also, called the hotel. Looks like the Nov 1, 2011 date has been scrapped. Now open for Jan 10, 2012.
...and they're gone. Looks like they've more or less bolted particle board onto the area where the next fixture will be. Have no idea what's up with that...
