Happy Theme Day. June's theme, selected by vote of the City Daily Photo participants, is Feet. I found 12,652 feet in this picture. How? I picked several of the more recognizable buildings and looked up how tall they are.

A-Spiring

The construction crews were able to install the structure for the Trump Tower Spire on Saturday.

They have had problems with the wind in past attempts to do this. They had to remove the fiberglass covering so that the sections wouldn't blow around so much. Now that the structure is in place, the construction crews will replace the outer, presumably decorative, shell.
