I didn't care for the horizontal piping in early depictions but now that I am seeing it for real it looks stunning. Very unique. I can't wait to take a tour. (It will be open to tours right?)

It's just a point and shoot, matey.

Panasonic Lumix TZ40.

Was going to upgrade to the TZ60, but haven't got round to it. And Sony have now brought out the Sony RX100-3. There seems to be a new point and shoot camera being released every week. :-?

TBH I prefer the small point and shoot cameras. You can get the camera and lens in between fences, etc. That's pretty much impossible with a normal camera and lens. Obviously the pay off is picture quality, but Photoshop helps. I need to upgrade that as I'm still on 8. 13 came out a few months back.

The Etihad bridge.

Anyone know what the tubes are and their purpose?

Thanks :)

Great pics once again.

Still looks 6 months or so off being finished. I imagine the biggest annoyance for the club will be relocating the first team while the season is going on.

Thank you so much for doing this jrb!!!!!

It's too bad the club doesn't do regular updates on the OS, with pictures and explanatory texts.

Pure guesswork but I assume the tubes under the bridge carry electrical and fibre optic cables.
