Chrysler building
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 24 November 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
A building a pass almost every day and still find fascinating after passing it on and off for 10 years now
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Must have been interesting to see this structure in person. The blue sky is bluer than blue:-)

A beautiful building. Do you have any close-ups of those bird heads up there?

Incredible view of another historical piece of architecture. From the Art Deco era. I have never seen this building up close but here I can see the eagles up above. Those alone are amazing pieces of art.
Have you ever been in the lobby of the building?

The angle is superb. The glow in the image makes one think that this must be an important building.

I agree. It's absolutely fascinating... I never expected it to be sporting so many antennas.

An impressive tower. I especially like the fine detail... like the bristling antennas over the top of the building. Nice shot.

I can fully understand your fascination, it surely are an impressive building with its gargoyles and all. Very well captured here with a amazing blue sky as a background. Great shot.

The same without the coat of mystery. Always so impressive. I do not like too much this blue without any variation and very flash. I like the framing of this Building ;)

A wonderful piece of architecture and beautifully presented here. I always think of "Annie" when I see photos of this building - "You'll stay up 'til this dump shines like the top of the Chrsyler Building" was the line I think.

Great architecture shot, the blue background really brings the foreground out. Nice one.

That is an intense blue in the sky! Great perspective on the building- love the contrast of the gold against the blue sky.

Yes, so good to see a structure with style like this that is so enduring . . like Steve, I'd like to see closer views of some of the detail here.

A fascinating iconic looking building, and one that has the hallmark of the NWO. Go google.

This is a great angle (literally) on this famous building. What a brilliant contrast against that sky! Fine as it is, then, although I would have tried to tone down those brightest highlights. I'm afraid this is one of my obsessions in photography.
