Sunset colours the mesh membrane of the World Cup Green Point Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa, but is it beautiful ?

Peek a boo ?
Its maybe early days to judge yet, but I am holding my breath ..
this is how it looks when the sunset "colours" the PVC cloth at 18,30 PM.Sept 16

Today during the day with little or no sun the fibre glass infused PTFE fabric mesh cloth has the exact colour of the walls of the old stadium's foundation: Grey


It seems to be  only the first strip which caused problems, the second strip looks tight and smooth

Ok unfortunately the sequence of these images are not right but you will get the gist of it
The membrane looks good from here What I love is.. that I will be able to see the "bones" of the stadium

The top part of the crane has come down now these guys are preparing the next part, I saw them walk fast as if they werent + or - 70 meters high up in the sky !
and that was the top ...
I am preparing another post... More images ..images I took when I drove past, they are the close ups of the stadium+ETFE membrane
