NYC: Chrysler Building

NJOceanView said:

I'm not usually a fan of black and white, probably because I'm so bad
at doing it myself -- I can do it but it's nothing like the work done
by those who are truly experts at it. But that last shot is perfect
just as you did it -- it would have lost something if it were in
color.

Imagine building the Chrysler Building and having the tallest
building in the world as of May 27, 1930. And then imagine just one
year and four days later -- May 31, 1931 -- losing that status to the
Empire State Building, which beat the Chrysler Building by a hair in
height. I wish the Chrysler Building had held its status long enough
for others to realize exactly what a gem it is. Your photos do a lot
to remind us of that. Thanks for sharing.

Nice!

One of my favorite buildings anywhere - I'm a huge fan of art deco.

I think a person could spend a couple days just doing a photo study
of this building, inside and out. Even the entrances are way cool.

Not bad for a Yankees fan.

gallery...

Dez,

First time posting in your picture threads. Always enjoy pics of NYC
from you, rfc, joe, anthony and too many to list. I visited NY twice
about 10 years ago and it remains my favorite city. Not sure if I
could survive living there but it's a most vibrant place. Thanks for
bringing back the memories.

T.

Thank you, Dez! Unfortunately it was a hazy day and they don't keep
the windows clean up there as the space is no longer in use.

Best,
