I had the pleasure of climbing up to the 55th floor of the not yet finished Comcast Center on Tuesday August 7, 2007. I went on a tour with Liberty Property Trust and I had my camera and all my goodies in tote for the journey. We were about 900' up at the highest point and as low as the concourse which will eventually join up with Suburban Station.
The 55th floor is right above the cutout when looking at the southern face of the Comcast Center. Windows have yet to be installed on that floor giving photographers [me!] an unobstructed view of the city as never seen before. It was surprisingly calm up there. I was expecting it to be breezy, but the air was almost as calm and dead as it was at ground level on that 95°F day.
Above is a 180° panorama from the 55th floor facing south. You can see the two I-beams at either end of the photo covered with fireproofing (I'm pretty sure that's what it is). From left to right, you can see the Delaware River, City Hall, Liberty Towers, Mellon Bank Center, IBX building and the Schuylkill River. My photos from the tour start here. Enjoy!
Incredible pictures, Albert.
Incredible pictures, Albert. I hope others reading this post will take my advice and click through to see all the photos. It's really breathtaking and seeing some of the photos near the ledge almost made me feel someone anxious, as if it were me on the ledge.
thanks

there's more shots to come from the others who went up too - whenever they get their asses around to it.
55th floor? Great photos,
55th floor? Great photos, you can use some panorama software, creates seamless 360 degree and wide angle panoramas from sets of photos. That should be more cooler.
Great picture
Wow, 55-th floor. This is something. The picture is very nice. You can use the Amazing Photo Editor to make it look even better.
