Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No 67 (23/4/10).

[Jack Straw]

On this glorious St.George's Day, I parked my car by Falmer village pond.
I noticed the "Vote Baker" posters in the villagers' windows.
How appropriate I thought, that this particular dragon was slayed, and the land was ours to build our cathedral of football.
The angles available to take meaningful photos are diminishing each week.
It would be criminal to have to stop this project 6 months before completion.
Anyway, still managing something at the moment.
Windows on the inside face of the east stand all in place.
Middle section of west arch sitting in the middle of the pitch area looks completed.
North stand terracing slowly taking shape.
West stand footprint virtually finished.
4 lots of 5 coming up.

It never ceases to amaze me how somebody can sit and design a building such as this. And then to implement the building of it and all that entails.

Staggering.

Great pics as usual JS.

There's certainly tons of building material on site.West stand is coming along nicely as well.

Top work.

Great stuff again Graeme.

Looking at that first pic (using your recently found panoramic feature) I'm amazed that the skinny looking thrust block and dog's head are so instrumental in the roof staying in place. Amazing design and engineering.

 

[Man of Harveys]

That is a mighty stunning set today. Wow. Thanks as ever JS.

Its like being present at a birth, but quieter and less squishy.

BRILLIANT pics again.

I hope your not hinting at the fact your loosing the motivation to take these photos JS?

It would be a NSC day of mourning without these weekley updates!

On a slightly seperate note...

Have you asked if your allowed into the site when all the external building work is finished and its only the inside stuff thats left??


Greast work as always

Batch 3, pic 1: Is that 2 pieces of the arch wallowing in the mud with steel shuttering plonked on top of them?

Never am I more motivated than when there's a challenge.
Should the time come when there is nothing different to photograph from the outside, the words "skin" and "cat" come to mind, but I'm hoping for some divine help before then.

Great pics as usual JS.
There certainly are less gaps to get decent shots through.
Have you ever thought of taking up skydiving?
