I dragged my T3i out for the first time in months and grabbed a close up from one of my usual Lower East Side vantage points using a long lens. The spire is still not topped off - this past Monday's top-off was postponed due to inclement weather. I haven't read anything official yet but the rumor is  that the remainder of the spire might be installed later today. I'll be watching for it!
