Of course, this seat only offers a temporary glimpse of the action:

Caught this finely-dressed gentleman on the sidewalk in New York City. He seemed to be waiting for a cab or a ride.

Who knew that the top of the Empire State Building was designed to be an anchor for giant blimps, or dirigibles?
However, it was tried only a few times, and when the Hindenburg burst into flames six years after the construction of the Empire State Building, dirigible traffic dwindled and the true purpose of the docking mast became obvious – it made the building the tallest building in the world at the time, beating the Chrysler Building. (Claiming that title was considered poor form – how refreshing, considering the incessant striving for superlatives these days!).
Old and New in New York 2 comments
I like the juxtaposition of old and new in New York. Here is the beaux-art facade of Grand Central Terminal from 1913 in front of the MetLife Building, built 50 years later in the International Style.
By the way, the statue is called ‘Transportation’, weighs 1500 tons, is 48 feet (16m) high, took 7 years to build, and the Tiffany clock has a diameter of 13 feet (4m)!
Water for Gotham City 6 comments
Found this water tower on a building in midtown New York. I like how this antiquated structure was framed by the modern building behind it.

Times Square Memories (part 4) Leave a comment
Another post of a series that I started when I worked in Manhattan. I love the excitement that the tourists bring to Times Square, each of them capturing their own private moment despite the hustle and bustle surrounding them. Here is the previous post in the series.

Caught while walking through New York, where nobody walks slow enough to get a shot that’s sharply focused. That’s New York: you blink and you miss it.

Moonset over New Jersey 3 comments
This was caught one late afternoon from my window in Manhattan – looking towards New Jersey, just across the Hudson River. Â The moon is setting over Columbia Terraces in Weehawken, NJ.

Christmas Season in Manhattan 3 comments
I love the festive mood that all of New York gets into before the holidays. It’s especially nice on a crisp, cold fall night. Here are a few of my favorite spots in mid-town. Happy Holidays!

Manhattan Solstice 7 comments
Manhattan Solstice or ‘Manhattanhenge’ is one of two days every year when the sun sets exactly in line with the crosstown streets of Manhattan. Because New York’s grid isn’t aligned exactly along East/West, this phenomenon doesn’t occur on June 21 (like in Stonehenge), but on two days spaced evenly around summer solstice (this shot was taken on July 11, 2012).
