Way up there

Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 13 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.

This is near grand central one morning, I think this is the Helmsley building one early morning, the fog hides the buildings behind it

Out at an offsite meeting for a couple of days so I may be get a little behind in making comments but will catch up on my return

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
Was away for a while but finally back
Other shots are posted on my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/tattoodjay/

IF you see yourself in any of my people on the street shots and want it to be removed please contact me and I will remove it straight away

This is a great shot of the Helmsley building ... I remember all the news on Leona Helmsley, "The Queen of Mean".

I wonder how many people just walk by this impressive building without noticing all the lovely details you show here. You´re very observant. Great shot!!!

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

Wonderfully powerful effect of isolation here - plus that visual 'scrolling' side-effect I rather like. Detail sis superb.

Kathryn from Warburton, Australia

SUPER! the muted effect of the fog also makes the colours of the building richer i think!

baobab from Cambridge, United States

a crowned building - funny how they put the gilded ornamentation up so high that only other sky-dwellers can really see it.
