Empire State Building

Posted by Shrigley Photography (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) on 26 June 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

From one city to another, we now visit New York City. This week will be a series of pictures from NYC (thanks to Simon).

I thought I would start off with a classic, the Empire State Building. I took this out of the sunroof of our car while driving by
I've been up this building about 3 or 4 times now, I think. Never saw King Kong...I guess he was always on break or making another movie. ;) But I did see the veiw and can say that the price you pay going up is a bit expenisive, but worth it.

I hope that you find the pictures interesting. It truly is a photographers dream...okay, well at least one of them. :P

Until Tomorrow...

@{H} creatives: Hey {H}! Glad you took a moment to stop by! :) It is hard to catch (not to mention update) photos everyday.

I'm glad you liked the first shot- I did want to make it speical.

King Kong called yesterday- sent his apologizes for not being in the photo. He said we'll try to make some arrangements for next time ;) He says Hi!

@Morris J. Chisholm: Thanks! I think everyplace might have a form of King Kong or a sleeping giant. Back home (State College, Pennsylvania) there is a giant cow on top of a restruant. ;) Its too funny.

aye, great start to the series! looking forward to more =)
NYC's a really magnificent city, so much going on, can just get lost and drown in all the sights and sounds of the city. more more! haha. i heard traffic's realli bad there, and most of the people take train as their main form of transport. it would be nice if u can show us the train, the system that keeps NYC running.. and people in time for work lolz

@simon: Hey Buddy!

NYC is a fantastic place. I've been there quite a few times and EVERY time I go I still find myself amazed by the sites/sounds/smells/traffic ;) The traffic there is...horrible. I will drive through many places, but NYC is not one of them. I've always taken a train (or someone else has driven). To a certain extent, I don't think its safe for me to drive in the city. I still get too damn excited when I see it.

And I'm so sorry to day, I have no pics of the train/subway. However, the next time I head up there, I'll be sure to catch one and post it. :)
