"Well, I find the optic at the top of the tower is really beautiful"
Well, I find the optic at the top of the tower is really beautiful, it’s absolutely magnificent and we’ve had people who come here and regard it as modern art, and when you look at it, it’s really impressive. It’s one of the biggest optics you’ll ever see anywhere.
