I've lived in New York for over 12 years, but I've never made it down to see any of the NYC staples, like the Empire State Building or Statue of Liberty - I've passed Times Square many many times, but never stopped to look up at the building that makes that place look like daylight 24/7. In fact, if it wasn't for one of my friends, I would have never made to the top of the World Trade Center before 9/11 - he had forced me to go with him, and I obliged. Then when people visit, I'm shuffling through google and/or city guides to find information about all these places...Well - this summer, a lot of friends are scheduled to visit, so I've decided to take advantage of it and so this past weekend was one of my first stints as a tour guide in NYC :).... and this is one of the shots from the top of the rock, at the Rockefeller Building in New York City...I'm sure photographers far better than me has attempted this with more superior results.... but ya know, I had to do it - it's my city, too :)

I really love this pic! A classical but it's just so perfect! The Black&White is amazing; Bravo!
-
Very nice city shoot. Really like the soft sepia tone!
-
Stunning cityscape!
I hope I could be there in a month as another turist!
So I must go to top of the rock at Rockefeller Building… Is it free or have to pay?

There must be millions of pictures around with this same subject. But as you show us, there is always a way to shoot a common subject with an uncommon result. Black and white and the contrast in your image is just perfect. I cannot stop looking at the details on the river far to the right…
That's a nice shot, thanks for sharing it! -
Nice pict, so nice texture! Looks almost irrealist…

New York is still on my list of places to visit. I already know that top of the rock is a must see…you've now confirmed why and in some style. Superb capture!

Just stunning. The black & white effort makes the imagery all the more dramatic.

I do alot of architectural photography works based here in Singapore. It's always good to see building shots from an Aerial perspective. Thanks for sharing.
