Last week I visited New York City. In the last few years, there has been a lot of new construction and some very iconic buildings have sprung up. Here is a shot from the front of the Midtown Hilton, where I stayed, at 53rd Street and 6th Avenue.
As always, you can click on the image and zoom in.
Located on 111 West 57th Street, in a section of town known as “billionaire’s row,” this is the world’s skinniest skyscraper. With a height of 1428 feet, is is also the second tallest residential building in the western hemisphere. You can read all about it here.
Then, a few hours later, my plane left as the sun was just setting, and I had a great arial view of New York City from 12,000 feet, with all of Manhattan in the left center of the image. You can clearly see the dark green rectangle of Central Park (with its lake).
I always like to visit New York and enjoy some of the iconic and unique attractions it offers.
Beautiful. The second image reminds me of what my husband said on our first trip to NYC. As we rode the train in from Princeton, we listed all the things we wanted to do on our day there. John said, “I’m sure we can do all that, how big can it be?”
