Top of The Tower

After working here for nearly four years, I finally reached the top. Well, almost the top. Today I was part of a group that visited the observation deck (no longer open to the public) at the top of the tower.


The weather was ideal which resulted in splendid views of Hartford.

Looking East

Looking North.

Looking West

For some reason, I didn't get a panoramic view looking south; but merely a normal view looking south.

Looking south, one sees the Wadsworth Atheneum (art museum), Calder's (red)
Stegosaurus  "sculpture", and Hartford City Hall.

The observation deck is at the 27th floor. I was disappointed that we didn't get to go farther up, to the cupola at the top with beacon. Maybe another day.
