I got to play tourist and head to the 102nd floor observatory of the Empire State Building the other day. When you live in the city, you tend to avoid all the tourist hangouts and I think the general attitude is that "Oh I can do that any day I want" but then you never do. So I didn't want to pass up this opportunity. If there's a "next time," I'd love to go around sunset or nighttime. Oh yeah, and there's always the Rock too. I'm just sad you don't get a view of midtown from these. :P Can't have everything, I suppose!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love your travel experiences
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. And I love that you're adding text to them. :)
ReplyDeletethe perspective is definitely different from that high.
ReplyDeleteyou inspire me to go on the empire state building myself! i've lived in NYC for over a decade and have never gone up there (probably because it costs around $30)
ReplyDeleteawesome shots alice! :)
awesome views, I adore the first shot.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'll even get there one day...
I've never been either. When I'm around let's go at sunset/night!
ReplyDeleteI remember going there at night thinking how amazing it is to see the city at night with lights and all. Now I wish I went there during daytime. Love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreat set! LUV this first and last! I remember visiting there several years ago, when I only had my P&S. Your pics want me to go back to NY, armed with my dSLR =)
ReplyDeleteHaha I know exactly where each spots of the photos you made were. It's always amazing to me how different people have different views of the same things. I <3 Empire State Building
ReplyDeleteIf this is what you call "playing tourist" ... all I can say is "wow!" Your photographs are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've only been to NYC once but didn't get the chance to go to the Empire State Building but I definitely want to go on my next trip!
Thanks for the inspiration! :)
