A Longer Gondola

In the picture of the gondola,what is the thing that appears to be a tree growing out of the support tower ???

Not sure but to me it look's like a tree.It is tradition,on bridges,when topping it out,to place a tree on the highest point.This,in some ways,could be considered a bridge.Perhaps that is the reason for it.

It's not just a tradition with bridges. With most commercial construction projects, once the project has reached its highest point of "framing" whether it be with steel, iron, or cement, the general contractor (GC) holds a Topping Out Party. This party generaly includes a pretty nice meal o site for all the employees, the big wiggs (owners and owners reps), and for the GC guests.

It is a tradition to put a tree of some sort at the highest point of the project in plain view of the public signifying that the project has reached its pinnacle. It also tends to be a good luck symbol for some. This part of construction tends to be the most dangerous part of the entire project.

Hope its more clear now.

Just a bloviated copy of what I said.He asked what it was and I answered his question without a bunch of extemperanious crap.

Nothing wrong with extra background info on the tree thing.

Whistler looks like a great place to live- too bad its likely a tourist trap.
