A Walk in Manhattan

Yesterday I took a long walk in Manhattan. The weather was great, sunny skies warm temps. It had been a while since I went to Manhattan and really payed attention to the architecture. These are my shots.

This is the Upper East Side skyline peaking out:


This is the new Bank of America building in Bryant Park:




This is the top of Americas Tower peaking out. It's my favorite building in terms of design. It has an old school style art deco look to it adapted to the post modern era:


walking down 6th avenue I snapped some shots of the high rises along it between 42nd street and 23rd:








Looking west along 34th street:


The Empire State Building behind the Hotel Pennsylvania:


Herald Square:



A new high rise with luxury condos or rentals:


These high rises along 6th avenue are all relatively new, built in the past 5 or 6 years:




Looking back up 6th avenue towards Midtown:


I swung west on 23rd and passed by the infamous Hotel Chelsea:


Some of the that modern style architecture featuring the extravagant window arrangement and facade mixed in with the old on west 23rd:





I went up to the High Line which has just recently opened. It was an abandoned freight rail line on the lower west side of Manhattan that is now an open pedestrian walkway. It offers some unique views of the city previously unavailable to the public:










looking up 10th avenue:


Lady Liberty:


Jersey City popping up:




Looking down 14th street:


This new building is where voyeurs wait for glimpses of naked flesh:


Jersey City again:


The Meat Packing district:






Back on the street in the Meat Packing district:


I thought this building looked interesting:




That new Trump building in Tribeca:




The Freedom Tower:


This view will change dramtically in the coming years:






The Skyscraper Museum has wooden handmade models of the city:
