Re: the brown structure you mentioned earlier -- Lincoln Tunnel? Looks just like the building where the Holland Tunnel is but the buildings nearby were near 42nd St.
I'm guessing that some of these were taken from Top of the Rock. Haven't been up there, but I do remember the Rainbow Room. The firm where I've been working the most is just north of Rockefeller Center -- the AXA Bldg. at 51st. Southern view is of Empire State and the wall of buildings on 6th Ave. to the right.
I hate looking north from where we are on 41st floor north looking at 9 West 57th Street Bldg. It's just tooooooooooo big. Dwarfs everything around it and it's so wide. GM Bldg. is just as high (50 floors) but I only see that from another window --there are other buildings blocking the GM from where I am.

You're a NYer, you're not allowed to guess. And yes, those shots are from the Top of the Rock. I definitely recommend it. |

You got a lot of great shots from the boat tour! You were much braver than I about getting out there in that cold wind, I didn't get near as many photos. I like the shot of the Chrysler building between the smokestacks, and all the bridges.
And I highly second the recommendation for Top of the Rock, it was outstanding. Most of my photos would look much like Scarlet's in viewpoint, but I may add a few to the thread once I get some uploaded to Flickr this weekend (I don't tend to upload all my photos online so I'll have to figure out which I want to post and so on).

None of my face-on Statue of Liberty pictures came out, and in a few shots, I have this big blob of water on my lens! And I feel bad about abandoning you to take the pictures! |

I love this reflection picture. Very "photo effects" from a naked lens.  |

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

Scarlet, there are some real gems in this series of photographs. I especially love the city lights shots taken after sunset. Absolutely stunning.
Great JOB!
Thank you sensei... Oh, and I'm having fun using them as background on my computer at work. |

those brown structures are the air vents (or fans) for the Lincoln Tunnell.

That's Grand Central Station, I believe.
Yes, the text in the pictures is "Grand Central Terminal." There was a fairly long discussion in Chat last night about the photo in Getting down to Brass Plaques thread. |
