We headed out earlier than usual this Saturday morning, and fitted enough time to visit the site from three different locations: Blocks 143, 142 and finally 158. We\u2019d not checked out the view from Block 143 before, and you do get a long corridor that gives an uninterrupted wide view of the project, especially Blocks 2, 6 and 8 and the iconic badminton dome. The pictures this time were taken with the D7000, and the Sigma 18-250mm lens. Some of the worker shots were taken at the longest focal length.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8284-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/blog-2012-minton-N7K_8284-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8284-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"364\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Minton blocks 8, 6 and 2 as seen from Block 143.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8271-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/blog-2012-minton-N7K_8271-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8271-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"364\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The iconic badminton dome&#8217;s steel frame is up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8274-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/blog-2012-minton-N7K_8274-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8274-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"364\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Close-up of workers at the dome.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8285-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/blog-2012-minton-N7K_8285-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8285-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"364\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The main pool and water playground not evident from the picture yet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8324-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/blog-2012-minton-N7K_8324-flickr_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-minton-N7K_8324-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"364\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">No record of a Minton visit is complete without a Hannah picture.
