ColoradoRick > Wendy on the main level, a couple of stories above ground.

ColoradoRick > The main room is bright and airy.

ColoradoRick > The highest tower, with its wrought iron tower on top. There is also a crane (left) for lifting building materials.

ColoradoRick > Looking though the middle tower, which is topped with a dome that supposedly rotates (see wheels in photo 18). The whole structure seems to shake slightly, even when nobody is climbing the circular stairs. Eventually the dome frame will be encased in glass.

ColoradoRick > Looking down from the top (inside) the dome. The iron screen floor gives it an airy, exposed feeling.
