Last week while I was in Indiana, the Spire‘s blue tower crane that has dominated the Denver skyline for the past year or so was dismantled, as the tower has reached its full height.

My friend Grant was kind enough to snap a picture of the crane’s dismantling for my benefit so, in case you missed it, I’m happy to share the photo with all of you. In this particular angle, the Four Seasons’ crane is in the background and the Embassy Suites’ crane is in the foreground:

There’s something geekily exciting about tower cranes, and it’s sort of sad when one goes away. However, we get a shiny new skyscraper in exchange so that’s a fair trade!
