Tunnel Of Rebar

I was down on our project site having a look at the progress that is being made.  Most of the large columns for the elevated sections have already been built but one more needs to be done later than the others because it goes where a temporary road had been placed.  They are now getting to it and the rebar has been put together that will go inside the column to reinforce the concrete as it is poured and sets.  Looking through the tunnel of this rebar as it sat on the ground awaiting the pour, I loved the pattern that it formed.

Merchandise Mart video

In a previous post I showed some images I took at the Midwest Helicopters lifting job at the Merchandise Mart.  As is normal for me these days, I also took the time to get a bunch of video and, finally, I have got around to editing this.  I wanted to focus a little more on the guys working on the roof rather than just the helicopter operations.  Of course, there is still plenty of footage of the flying too!  I hope you enjoy.
