Majdoul Tower

I don’t seem to be able to resist photographing the Majdoul "Twisting" Tower, which is really coming along nicely, with almost all the windows installed. This is the first time that the supports on the ground have actually appeared to be straight ;-). I guess distance does make a difference!

Wonder what it's like to be in one of those corner areas as it wraps around. This somewhat reminds me of the DNA helix.
